Roof rack install issue
While installing an after market roof rack, the bolt holes that anchor one of the four corners have lost the bracket underneath the holes that holds the sleeves that allow a bolt to tighten through the hole.
There is a part number for this roof rack bracket but I know the piece has just fallen down into a "pocket" under that area. I cannot access it from above so my only option is to try and access it from below, through the headliner. No one at 2 dealerships had ever heard of accessing this area.
Has anyone accessed the area under the base of the roof rack? I need to see if I can reattach the bracket from underneath and determine what is involved in accessing this area. I'm definitely not great at dismantling headliners and trim pieces so just looking for any previous experience. If I can access the fallen bracket and hold it back under the bolt holes I might be able to attach the bolts from above and secure my roof rack.
This has to be a super random question so I'm sure my odds are long.
Thanks, Pete
