Roof Rack idea!

Has anyone here considered putting spacers underneath the factory runners?

That would raise the factory crossmembers an inch or so and stop the rubbing problem.

I would try it myself, but to carry my packasport without hitting the roof of the X (the roof is curved but the packasport is flat) I would have to raise the runners about 3 inches and then they wouldn't fit in my parking garage.

Looks like I'll have stick to my original plan of buying aftermarket. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

AH'sDAD

They may look tacky that way. The permanent runners would be settin up off the body on the spacers. I went and looked at the dangits I took off and there is no way I can see to put spacers on them either. If some after market co. would make some for the permanet ones on the top that had a trim that fit around the spacers to blend in with the peremant runners, that would work fine.

Hummmmmmm might try to make something for mine. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
