Wish I could help, Tim, but my experience is limited to my Yukon, and I rarely use the rack on it. I did remove it for detailing when I first bought it, and can say that the mounting points are not extremely heavy duty. I'm not even sure that it mounts to any kind of sub structure at all. You may be better served to go to the 'yard, find one with the headliner out, and go from there. In any case, I think you've got your work cut out for you, interested to see what you come up with.
