Adding/removing roof rails

Were you able to put the screws back in to seal up the holes?

Haven’t tried yet. Still thinking whether it’s worth the effort.

Thanks for the reply. Current lead times on rack are about 5 weeks. Need a delete kit first.

I added the OEM roof rails to my 1958 this afternoon. Install took about an hour. I got the rails used from a forum members, and since the foam/mastic on the contact points around the bolt holes is supposed to be single-use, I put black RTV silicone around them and on the bolt threads. Hoping it stays nice and waterproof. Did the same on an OEM Tacoma rack and never had a problem. Once the silicone cures, I'll be throwing on Thule Wingbars / Rapid Crossroad feet (the kind with the rubber coated steel straps for raised rails).

I have some OEM rails but not all the connector bolts. I'm trying to order those various bits from parts dealer but I'm having a hard time figuring out everything needed. Would you happen to have taken a picture(s) of your rails and pieces before you mounted them, or anything that may show process? I've researched this a lot and seen several videos of people removing them, but I never get a good or complete look at the parts. Thank you so much!

These may help

I have a strong suspicion that 4Runner hardware is compatible, though not the rails themselves.
