WTH - Esky roof rack parts discontinued?

[tast101]

shouldn't have to buy the whole rack, thats just BS. because each individual part is sold individually. I think they were just tryna make some $$ of you my friend.

Anyone know the part # for the rear bumper/quarter skirts for the denali? I bought my truck without them and it's annoyed me for awhile now.

Unfortunately it's true...I called 3 diff dealers trying to get the individual parts, I even called the GMparts link listed above ..they all show up as discontinued or superseeded by the left and right side "kits"

How aggravating.....

GM does some retarded stuff sometimes, why the hell would someone have to buy a whole new rack just to replace that small peice!

Same reason GM makes you buy an entire gauge cluster instead of just a motor or an overlay?

Profit and SKU reduction.

Have you tried to order these? I am able to add them to my cart but I'm afraid that they're just gunna come back with an email saying "Uhh, Sorry those items are discontinued...our software is a revision behind."

I noticed that link you sent is for the NNBS, if you look at the chrome rail it's actually constructed different - well different than my chrome rail. My rail doesn't have those little tabs on the end. Not sure if that would fit.

No I didn't try to put them in the cart. Did you try calling to c if anydealers could order the new part #'s. Yea I didn't know if the nnbs were the same I've never look at both with my own hands to give them a good look
