I know this thread is not very recent but I recently purchased a set of short rails for my dealer and would like to install them myself. The problem that I encountered is that when I remove the original strip on the roof of the car and replace it with the rails, they do not completely tightened. They have a wiggle to it and a small space below them.
I returned to the dealer and asked the tech that installs them and he says he installs them over the existing strip and only cuts the back few inches.
Has anyone had this issue? Are your rails attached over the existing strips or in lieu of them?
Thanks, PM Sent.
I do have the spacers but even then, there was a wiggle. I tightened them as much as possible. What seemed very strange is that installation guides that I have seen as well as videos on Youtube all show the original strip coming out and the rails replace it. However, my dealer installs it over the strip. Says he's done it 100's of times!!
