ROOF RAILS COMING UP - 12/17/2007 11:42:00 AM    NITRO LADY   Posts: 2 Joined: 12/15/2007 Status: offline HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THE ROOF RAILS COMING UP?  MINE WEREN'T QUITE SITTING CORRECTLY, SO WE MENTIONED IT TO OUR DEALER, THEY ORDERED A NEW ONE FOR US. WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO INSTALL IT THEY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A 'TSB' REGARDING IT AND THEY [CHRYSLER] WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE NEW ONE ON 'AND HAVING IT DO THE SAME THING' THEY RE-SEALED OURS.  HOWEVER NOW IT IS WORSE THEN WHAT IT WAS ORIGIONALLY. JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY HAS HAD BETTER LUCK WITH A FIX?

But if you order new ones they change them a little. they come with the metal piece that is toward the back seperate when they together from factory with clips. Not sure what that accomplishes but they still use the 3m tape in the front. I know of a dozen or so replaced because of the same issue. (in reply to NITRO LADY) Post #: 2

RE: ROOF RAILS COMING UP - 4/16/2008 7:13:50 PM    DATfan   Posts: 1 Status: offline Would one of you all with the Nitro factory roof rails/crossbars please either post a photo of the crossbar  and/or tell me how wide each crossbar is?  I'm a Magnum owner trying to determine if we have similar crossbars.  Magnum crossbars are "rectangular," about 2.x inches wide and flat. You could really help me out with this info... TIA! (in reply to Chryco4Life) Post #: 7
