Yeah... that's kind of a can of worms. But, here is the short version...
When I bought it... I told them which rails I had...and sent them pictures... which is part of the process (as you know).
They sent me the wrong hardware originally...and the wrong instructions. They sent me the instructions and hardware for the no rails version.
Then, once they realized their mistake, they sent me the "correct" hardware...and "correct" instructions. Even the truck in the new instruction has the full length rails. but, even the truck in the instructions... you can tell that the wind deflector sits all the way in front of the front portion of the "slopey" plastic covers.... mind does not.
So, there is the part of this that goes... for almost $2k they should give me what they sold me... but, also, I like the full length rails. And... probably more to the point... somehow they got it to work on the one in the photos in the instructions.
My HOPE is that it is simple to cut the little plastic thing, slide everything up, and we're good to go. My FEAR is that the mounting points are welded in different spots for this version of the rack. God I hope that's not the case... but if it is, I am just going to get a refund b/c this whole thing has been a bit of a circus.
