I have an '11 LTZ, what year escalade roof rack should I be looking for? Anybody selling these on here?

The way the end caps are fitted on the racks changed in 07 (pretty sure it was 07). I'd look for 07+ if possible. They fit a little nicer.

I would vinyl wrap it gloss black. That way you can always resell it or go back to a chrome finish. There are many people who have done that on here

By nicer u mean a smaller gap in them? I bought it off a 03 should I worry or no big deal

meaning the way the caps secure themselves to the plastic gasket. The 07+ up ones have a different way to secure themselves...
