May 3, 200520 yr Are you wanting to put a factory roof rack on a wagon that did not origionally come with one?
May 3, 200520 yr Author 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?
May 4, 200520 yr 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.
