Re: HD Roof Rack On Suburban

Sounds like a rubber version of the nutcerts. I really don't want to mess with that headliner. Other than the hassle, it's still in good shape and I'd like it to stay that way.

I appreciate your help. I've been thinking more about it. I got discouraged when I realized the hatch comes way above the roofline when open. This would mean the racks would need to sit way up off the top and I was wanting something low, lean, and mean. My '91 Suburban had cargo doors (& tailgate models have window in gate) and that was an issue I didn't consider. Now I have decided to make them shorter and give up having a bar across the back, beyond the body, that I can lean things into. Just have to set things on the back bar while laying flat and slide on... carefully.
