VX KAT - Thank You!

Kat, are you ever gonna get yourself back in a VX or are you all VX'ed out? LOL

Hey everyone! I would love to meet fellow owners of VX's here in the Phoenix area. Being such a newbie to these vehicles, the more I can learn, the better!

On a very happy note - I finally got my baby back!



I thought I would never see the day! The windows work really great, now - with new regulators, motors, and clips - and my mechanic found a good hack for the rubber - but more on that in another thread.

Here's a close-up of the roof rails - I installed them this afternoon:



I ended up leaving the flaps off because they wouldn't snap down in place over the clamp screw heads; I have on order a set of 3D printed flaps from Jasonm621 - maybe those will fit better. If not, I will have to come up with another solution.

The rails turned out great, though - and they look perfect on top of my VX. A basket and some lights will complete this someday.

Looks great! Glad to see you finally got it back!

The flaps should fit, I had them snapped closed before I gave them to you. I've never heard of a set not fitting (and those are OEM). Did you try pushing hard and snap them onto to the little nubs on the edge?

Dave and I will be in PHX Thursday if you want to meet up and I can try it.

You can see 2 lower nubs in this pic.
You have to kind of arch the flap to get them in the top 2 nubs,
then press pretty hard to snap them into the lower 2.
