Low profile roof rack...

Hey all,
One of the crosss arms on my 2004 Excursion's low profile roof rack had a part fail. Anyone know where to get a replacement cross arm? I've checked one of the local salvage yards with no luck.
I'm in Ohio, but would consider having it shipped in if the price was right.
Thanks!

If you lived closer, I say you could have mine. I took them off because they were rubbing on the paint. I've added getting an aftermarket as on of my things to do. Did all years have the same roof rack?

Trent,

I'm not sure if they were the same across all years.

This is the best I can do with pictures while at work. Maybe you can tell? The 'lever' is in the middle. It flips up to release the hold on the track.

If you aren't using yours and the price is right, I'll take them off your hands!

Let me know.

Thanks,
Paul

They are all the same. If it doesn't work out with him, you can have mine for the cost of shipping. Probably around $20 US Priority Mail.

Thanks Monsta! I may very well take you up on that if Trent doesn't want to get rid of his.
Stay tuned!

Just get rid of 'em. Even if you never use them, they're going to rub the paint off.

The flip thing is what failed on mine. Car wash probably got it. I didn't lose it, but it doesn't latch down. I found out it is just a little metal flat spring that failed in the assembly. That's all I really need, but if there are entire cross arms to be had...

I do plan on using mine, least i think i am, might say the heck with it and just buy one of those receiver hitch carriers with a luggage bag like what would be on top of the X anyway's. Anyone use those and if so can i get some feed back. Not trying to highjack the thread, feel free to move if need be.

I use one. I've carried all kinds of things on it. Much better than the roof. Worth the $$.

First thing I did when I got both my Excursions home was to remove the racks and put them in the garage.

I don't.

I use a hitch carrier or trailer. I've never thought that the roof was a good place to carry things no matter the vehicle. Just me, I guess.

I use mine about 1-2 per year. But it's only for things like getting the X-mas tree home, or to throw some snowboards or something of the likes. In fact, I was just going to remove them, but it kind of helps shield my Sirius antenna from the car wash.

Monsta,
If you are serious about getting rid of yours, can you PM me to see if we can work something out?

Thanks!
