    So, I know there's a million threads about it......

    I'm trying to remove my roof rack, but I'm trying to go for the least ghetto way of plugging the holes. Are there any factory parts I can buy to plug them? I'm not a big silicone or tape guy, I'm trying to prevent my truck from turning into the ghetto mess my previous ones have been.

    Thanks!

    Did you get the factory rubber pieces?

    I don't think I'll be of much help, but any chance you can post photos of the underside of the Roof rack? Specifically the portions forward of the "pivot". I've been playing with an idea lately but I need to take mine completely off to see if it would even work.

    With the factory roof molding it will cover up the holes. You just want to cover them with tape for added protection

    The rubber molding will cover the tape

    Not yet, and I haven't ripped it off yet. I'll let you know when I get it off if you want.
