I'm looking to upgrade my 08 tahoe roof rack to an escalade roof rack and i see a few people on craigslist trying to sell escalade roof racks with the years 2002-2010... Does this mean an older escalade roof rack will bolt on directly to my nnbs 08 tahoe?

Yes. the only difference is the gaskets but the rack is basically the same..

I was under the impression that the holes do NOT line up.

I went with an Esky rack on my '09, but I believe the part #s were specific to the '07+.

I had an 08 Denali rack on my 06 and the part was the same as the Escalade. The holes and the roof contour are the same..

KMeloney do you by any chance have the full part # list for the esky roof rack? Also, did you buy from gmpartsdirect.com? Thanks for the help!

Chistoso -- Thanks for clearing that up. If you've done it, then there can't be any question about it.

Almost forget -- I bought the rack through my local dealer. I have bought from GM parts direct, so no problem there. It's just that I got a discount at my dealer (and he tends to get the parts really quickly).

Sure thing. Like I said the difference between the two is the gaskets. the NNBS racks are one pice as opposed to the NBS which are 3 piece but the rails themselves are exactly the same along with the end caps..

For some reason only 1/2 rails shows up and the guide pins (plates) shows up on GM Part's Direct. The other rail and the four caps don't show up. I guess the part's numbers changed?
