JT95 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Are you wanting to put a factory roof rack on a wagon that did not origionally come with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Cody Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 Yes...I was given a Subaru OEM roof rack, that I plan to install on my '97 wagon that didn't come with a Roof Rack. After looking at the mounting hardware that came with the Roof Rack, it is clear I need to pull the head liner to install the backing plate brackets that go on the inside of the roof. Any advice? Are you wanting to put a factory roof rack on a wagon that did not origionally come with one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottbaru Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I think most factory roof racks are installed with expanding rivnuts. http://www.mcmaster.com/ has them and installation tools. Installing with backing plates would be more work but stronger. A Thule or similar aftermarket rack is much stronger and more versatile.
