Wanting to remove the luggage rack on top i am wanting to remove the luggage rack on top of my 2004 chevy tahoe z71.
Hi all bought an 05 low mile ls loaded and thought the z71 roof rack would look better on top.
And does anyone have a nice one for sale here.
I know on lt or ls tahoes the bolt is easily accessed from the top however on z71 roof racks the crossbars actually slide on inside of the side rails instead of on the top of the ls or lt side rails.
Once removed you can slide out that plastic base and then slide the cross rails out through the rear.
Pulled the roof rack off the lo hoe and added color matched mirror caps.
Next up is.
I just need to know how to get to and remove the bolt in the center support for the side rails of my roof rack.
Pull roof rack upwards to remove.
There are a couple of screws on each side to the rear of the vehicle that you need to remove on the rack.
