Escalade Roof Rack swap install
i know there is a few of these in the forum. But i might as well show my process.
Remove the old one. Used a Torx T-25. 10 Bolts. 2 on the front of each rail, 2 on the rear of each rail and one in the middle of each rail.
you have to slightly pull up on this tab to release the feet from the rails.
(i took the pic after it was off for more light)
Then just slide your old rails off the channels and take all the pieces off
Gosh, it looks so clean with NO Rack i almost changed my mind and left it!
cleaned the dirt and residue a little
install the anchors into the center hole of each rail.
place the new esky rail over that hole and then slide the rail forward until your front and rear mounting holes are aligned
once it's lined up, don't forget to put the plastic feet UNDER this. (i forgot this step the first time)
but luckily, i unscrewed it and fit them under it after the fact
Screw all the rails back on then slide your cross arms back on from the rear.
(there is a safety tab/notch on the front that prevents it from being over slid, so bring em in from the rear of the vehicle)
tilt the end cap edge into the chrome rail then you can push them into place snug.
All done!
