Are you saying that you don't like it, or are you saying that you wish he'd get you one, too?

He needs to get me one too........I am his best client!

well my truck is white and thought it would look funny have black molding up top, so i removed my rack and got some 6mmx1.5x1 inch long (i think...same threading as stock) short bolts, some 009 o-rings, teflon tape, and stock color touch up paint/clearcoat. i milled about .150 thousandths off the bolt heads so they were not so noticeable. it all came out pretty well. but then my co-worker,who helped me, suggested that i could always go with some set screws in which that would prob. work out well too and not have a bolt head at all. just another option besides moldings.

Thanks, InTruck! That's what I was referencing, of course. (And thanks for all of your help with this previously.)

2elo -- You're left with 5 threaded sleeves (per side) sunk into the roof of the truck when you remove the roof rack. If you don't insert something back in those holes/cover the holes, then you run the risk of water running into those holes and into your headliner. InTruck has covered his with a molding. I think it looks awesome.

So far, I think the Corolla body side moulding is what that is..? I couldn't find it on Prostripe at all. Gee are they proud of that stuff or what? Cheapest I can find is 70 bucks for the two 7' lengths with tapered ends. It could be worse I guess.
