I thought about removing the cross bars and just painting the rails on each side body color... Has anyone seen that?

I think it would look pretty good.

Nice write-up and good pics OP.



So that's why yours looks different. Every time I see your sig pic I keep looking and wondering what's different about the rack. The Escalade thing just never crossed my mind...

One more thing to add to my to-do list with my wife's Tahoe. I also couldn't live with the screws sticking out even though you probably can't even see them when standing next to it.

Thanks! Looks great and would like to deal with a member here, but shipping will probably be a pain, though.

Found one for the same price locally that I'll probably at least go check out.

Has anyone thought about using set screws with a bit of sealant.? Those bumps would still stick up a little bit but I doubt anyone would see them.

I'm wondering if I'd need the right length for the set screws to bottom out in the holes, or if the loctite/sealant would be enough to hold them still.?

Set screw are a great idea. I used small plastic push pins and you can tell i even put anything over the holes

do you use sealant with the plastic push pins to prevent water from leaking in?
