Will this roof rack fit?

[adventurenali92]

You are correct on all points about the hardware. Those anchor bolts are definitely key to the rack fitting properly. Good looking XL. Color matching that rear window appliqué to match the vents and rack ends would look pretty darn sweet. Hint, hint..

Yeah. I want the esky third light though. Having trouble finding one. But also dealing with buying a new trans for,my beast right now so the body changes are on hold lol. Gotta get him back on the road.

How much you guys pay for the Esky roof rack and glass w/ 3rd light? I found a Escalade being parted out not far from here but haven't called yet, it looks like it's a yard not individual.

I like the idea of both staying on but can see it having possible issues

Rack about $250
Glass and light about same, maybe 300
Vents 150

The esky told racks are straight bolt on using your hardware from stock racks. However most people that are selling the esky racks don't realize they need to send those anchor bolts with the racks. It took me about a month to track them down.so make sure they send you the anchor bolts! Ended up getting them through the GM website. dealerships wanted alot more than what the GM site charged me. But still spent about $40. But I had to order 4 of them since I have the long wheel base.

So these anchor bolts come with the rack? come facorty on the caddy?

Thanks. I saw somewhere once a diy to make both banks of lights stay on with lights, but still only one bank blinks with a turn and one bank brightens with brakes. but can't find it anymore. Also may or may not have been these lights anyway.

Edit found it. Anyone try this lately? Seems like some people had issues,

Yes they came stock on the caddy. The family I live upstairs from has an 05 esv. Before I bought my roof racks I pulled hers apart to check out the mounting hardware and hers has the anchor bolts in the middle. I found my racks on eBay listed from a junkyard. My racks only had two caps, 3 out of the four gaskets were broken, and didn't have any of the mounting hardware. So by the time,i tracked everything down I needed and got the caps color marched, it was a lengthy process. So if you're in the market and buying,from eBay or CG, ensure that you're getting all the necessary parts.

Understood. Trans more important than 3rd light for sure.
