Roof Rack Cover Blew Off -- easy place to get replacement?

[got556]

That's insane. My dealer said they were $15 a piece, 15x4= 60. They are not hard to install, they'd pop it on and say some lie for more money. :ak47:

Interestingly enough this same dealer is only charging me $780 for timing belt/water pump/serp belt/tensioners/pulleys etc...and that includes parts through them.

Dealership that was selling 4 for $60

Is there any way I can get the dealership # in Georgia that was selling them for $60 for 4?

 

[me_rikey]

My dealer wanted $60 for all 4.

who is your dealer? i'm looking at paying almost $60 for one..

add me to the list of people who have "lost" the right rear cover.

Bad Carwash!

I lost 3 in a Car Wash today...the dryer blew them right off and of course they were all smashed when they hit the found

I have some silver covers some are broke but i believe a couple arent mine were hard to take off. All you do if have to paint it black. I dont need them anymore as i switched to 06 sport ed bars

Any chance you still have the rear driver's side support cover in good condition? I have a limited, so I'm looking for the silver plastic pieces you have (had?).

entire rack is not worth 60 bucks,....

 

[GregGimbert]

Partznet quoted me $72, over the phone with FB "like" 10% off coupon delivered for front left cover FWIW. Local dealer wanted $102. After almost ten years on the truck and 3 years of them hanging tough bashing through branches and vines im felling pretty lucky I never needed one till now. They were a breeze to deal with over the phone.

Hello, i need 3 covers of my rack, some burglars take it in a parking lot, and all webstores are too expensive, can you give me the contact of your dealer or the link of the store,

Thank You...

Those things were a ***** to get off my truck! I cracked three of the 4 while removing. I figured 8 years of central valley heat had something to do with it. Never put them back on. It makes me feel tougher! :boxing:

I broke my front passenger side cover off by jumping up on the rock slider and grabbing for the rack at the same time. My foot slid one way and I fell the other way, taking the cover with me. Damn near broke my leg. Now I always gently step on the second door slider and grab the roof rack in the middle, then step toward the front.

that's todays safety meeting, y'all be careful out there.

I know this is late, but similar enough I have the same problem. Do you gave yours replaced under warranty? If not can you please direct me to your dealer so I can buy these at the net price without overpaying for these plastic snap on covers... thanks..

Add me to the list I just saw I was missing a rear passenger cover. I knew that it was loose and pushed it down whenever I felt it loose. I thought if I did lose it it would be around $20 for a new one from dealer. I never expected it to be this much for a piece of plastic. If I had known it was close to $100 I would of tried to find a way to fix it when I had the chance. I bought it from Amazon for $59.08 it was the lowest price I could find.

Add me to the list

I have a 2006 4runner SR5. Lost my rear passenger side cover the other day. These things are expensive to replace!

Really sorry to hear.

When I took those covers off to insert more crossbars, I broke a tab off one of them. After putting them back, I taped both of them down using 20 mil pipe tape. Doesn't look perfect, but I didn't want to take a chance...

Whats funny is that I can probably get more for just my OEM caps than what people ask for the entire damn rack after they upgrade to a flat rack or something.

Roof Rack Leg Cover Lost -- Also!

Wow. Just logged onto this forum for the first time ... and amused to note how many others have experienced the same thing with our 4-Runners: losing rack leg covers (RR in our case). Just ordered $66 replacement thru Amazon Prime.

 

[wakt600RR]

Lost one too

Just replaced the front passenger side...I am pretty certain it was knocked off during a recent drive through the car wash. It's unfortunate these are so easy to lose.

 

[rwelch53]

Just found this thread and it is kind of ironic that this is more common than I thought...I also just went through the car wash last night and the driver's rear cover came off. They are going to comp me 3 full details instead of replacing the part through corporate, so $50-60 out of pocket for one works for me lol. Not as good of a detail as I would do myself I'm sure, but saves me a few days in the Florida heat this summer, so I'm ok with that!

I had the passenger rear one get ripped off in a car wash, but luckily I saw it fly off in my rear view mirror. I had them stop the wash and retrieve it for me, and was also lucky that it wasn’t damaged. I drilled and tapped into the actual brackets underneath on both sides and used stainless #10-24 screws to prevent them from ever falling off, or getting stolen.
