roof rack delete mod

[screamin86]

jw what you gys with the roof rack delet are doing to cover the bolt holes? i havent done anything other than unbolt my rails that were on and havent tackled the holes/threaded portion yet.

I don't like these truck without a rack personally, the shift in body line makes it look goofy. You can buy metric bolts with low profile heads that are barely noticeable but it still looks weird

I agree, it just doesn't look right without it.

I used a cap like this and used silicone to fill the hole and make the cap stick



Hope this helps

I ran a strip of 1" body side molding to match the rest of the molding on the roof. The truck looks lower and sleeker.

I had the holes where my roof rack was welded over and painted. This to me is the best way to make it look stock.

I just filled my holes with good silicone.

It's just a matter of personal preferance. I had a slammed 01 tahoe and they looked good off. Now I have an 02 yukon lifted and I like them on, but my wifes 02 denali's are deleted.

here's my how to thread. i do understand what people say about the body line, i could always put my rack back on though. i was going for a street look with smooth vents and rollpan because i thought i was going to lower it, now i'm lifting it....lol...oh well. i did it this way because of money (i.e. shaving or escalade rack), but i didn't like seeing the tops of those threaded inserts.
