Hey guys. So the weather is getting nicer by the day and I wanna start modding my van. Now here is my question I wanna remove the emblems (Cause I can't stand them) and the roof rack, but i'm not sure if it's screwed into the roof or held on by some crazy tape. Now I was wondering if anyone has done this before and if they could give me some pointers.
Apprecieate the help.
roof rack?
Re: roof rack?
the roof rack is screwed in , your going to have to fill the holes with something so you don't get any leaks . i've heard people use silicon or something like that to fill them but if its lowered your going to see the holes . believe me i know . #-o #-o #-o
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

Re: roof rack?
my 94 was screwed in and i just siliconed the holes, if your good at body work you can fill them with bondo and sand and paint.

Re: roof rack?
As everyone has said,,they are screwed in and you either have glued on rubber ribs or stainless that are also screwed on(the stainless).
I had removed my stainless ribs after removing rack but plan on reinstalling them so I won't have so many holes to fill and think the stainless ribs with no rack will look ok.

Re: roof rack?
You might need an impact wrench to remove it. I tried removing Green's but ended up spinning the nut that's attached to the roof on the first bolt. I ended up JB Welding the nut and leaving the rack on. Maybe after Grumpy is going again I'll take a second crack at it.
