Looks good. Should look better with that Esky rack being color matched.

 

[MACHO]

Yes. Thanks, everything came and looks good. It's going to look GREAT once it's all clean and color matched!

 

[Pachanga02]

Great. Looking forward to seeing it again with the Esky rack. Nice progress

 

[MACHO]

I removed the gaskets and got them all cleaned up.

Found some replacements for the fasteners which attach the gasket to the bottom of the rail.

Here's the old faster removed from the hole on the left. 4 per rail.

Just dropped off the rails and end-caps at the painters! Hope to have it on next week!

 

[Pachanga02]

Glad you found replacement tabs. What did the shop say about painting the plastic gaskets?looking forward to seeing it finished and on the truck

 

[MACHO]

Oh I didn't have them painted. Just removed them and cleaned them up. They look like new.

Wait what am I looking at? Gaskets?

 

[MACHO]

Yes sir. Those are the gaskets. I ended up removing them from the rail bc I'm
OCD and wanted to make sure the entire rail got painted and didn't get paint on the gasket. They attached using small "panel fasteners" which I found the replacements for at the hardware store. (old fasteners broke when being removed) Im picking up the painted rails and end-caps tonight!

We need pics of the blacked out Escalade rack!

 

[MACHO]

Will do! Then it'll be like your old Tahoe right? Was supposed to go pick it up tonight but got tied up. I promise to have it done no later than this weekend.
