    Does anyone know of a place or person that sells the roof molding up top already drilled out for the Prinsu racks. I want an easy to install and clean look. Not too sure if I can get the holes done up myself with out F'ing the whole thing up.

    Try reaching out locally on the regional threads. You may find someone on here local to you who will help you do it at the cost of a beer.

    I recently installed my Prinsu rack, the roof moulding is easy to drill the exact holes for the spacer for a clean install.

    1. use an xacto knife to cut the slot..
    2. use tin snips to cut the metal reinforcement
    3. use an xacto knife to cut the metal reinforcement out, similar to cooking where you skin something or trim the fat.
    4. use the 3/4 drill bit to slowly drill the hole making sure both sides are being held down and let the drill bit do all the work....
