So after washing the hoe i decided it was time to pull the roof rack off....pretty simple but i put the bolts back in afterwards....so my question is.....are there caps that i can get some where like autozone or something....it looks cool but i dont like staring at the bolts on there....Thanks yall

When I pulled mine off, I painted the stainless screw-mounts body color, black, and you can barely notice them. I'm afraid of putting a cap on because it might stick up too much and look obvious. What I have seen done though on an S-10 blazer is using the side molding from a cavalier. I didn't think it looked that great, but the guy could have just done a ****** job.

Do you need to fill the gaps with anything? I remember hearing something with trailblazer's and how after taking the rack off, people had to fill gaps in.

I just went through the winter with it covered in snow half the time, and didn't have any problems. I'm kinda hoping that Chevy has the common sense to seal the holes when the rack comes off with simple torque screws. Other forums that I've read people were freaked out, but when you actually take it off, it appears to be sealed really well.

I won't be able to get some pics until next week because I don't have the car with me at college. It takes a couple minutes to unscrew it if you want to just try it out.

i just want something flat and smooth....there has to be a cap that threads in....that i can paint...it looks really good.....had a few compliments today but i can still see the top of the bolt just sitting there mocking me........

just get some set screws and screw them in..the allen wrench head kind..screw them in flush, and paint the left over metal washer type deal body color with touch up paint..all you can do besides welding them up

 

[brndns_hoe]

that's what i did, the set screw with allenhead top, and they happened to be black too, so no painting necessary.... it's still noticeable, just not near as bad as the original screws...but mocking ya? i know the feeling lol

can i pick those up at a autozone...i have the paint...got that at the stealership...no one else carried it

 

[brndns_hoe]

hmm...but i didn't pull the female part out, like some said in that link, so maybe i'll do that so it'll be more flush. do those just pop out, anyone know?
