Yes, you can add the long factory rails..... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 2006 Aero Sport Combi Roof Racks or Rails, psanow, Tue, 21 Nov 2006 18:51:09 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I actually went the other way and removed the long rails that we didn't want, but were on the car we purchased. Sorry guys, they have already been sold.
You will need the long rails, estimate $200+ for these, and the appropriate new roof trim strips to use with the rails, another $200. The roof trim strips are different parts depending on whether you have the factory installed roof rails or not. Surprisingly, these trim strips are ordered pre-painted to match you car color - making it an easy D-I-Y job. Then you have to buy the crossbars to utilize the long rails to carry cargo. These actually cost slightly more than the crossbars for the non-roofrail SC's.
Yes, it can be done. Yes, it is an easy D-I-Y job. My Dealer ordered the non-roofrail trim strips for me, delivery was around two weeks. One arrived scratched in the box and the Dealership Body Shop touched it up within a day at no cost.
