    Based on P/Ns the answer is no, they're not interchangeable, however, I'm not exactly sure what the differences are either. I'd assume they're just a little bit different in shape to accommodate the cab generation.

    2nd Gen OEM roof rack works on 3rd Gen and vice versa.

    Im almost positive 2nd gens are 1 per side and 3rd gens are 2 piece per side. There’s no way to check right now due to weather.

    If you look up the part # to the OEM roof rack it will state that it will not fit a second gen
    This is false as I bought it and installed it
    So my answer is yes they are

    The ends clip in no problem? I’m removing my OEM rack soon, PRINSU rack will be replacing it. :)

    The front comes almost flush, maybe 1/8 inch from A-Pillar does not tuck.
    Rear tucks in very nicely

    Yes, for the moldings the 2nd Gens are 1 piece and 3rd Gens are 2 piece.

    So the 3rd Gen drip moldings should fit without a problem then. :D Got a set locally for a decent price, figured they were interchangeable due to the fact of the OEM roof racks. :)
