    thinking about getting my roof wrapped and then possibly getting a roof rack. Idea is to protect the paint up there and provide a little extra protection.

    Anyone else do this?

    Any idea what something like this may cost?

    Thanks!

    If I read that right, you want to double wrap your roof?

    There have been a few who have wrapped the roof. I plan to do it eventually, along with the hood.

    Ohh no, I mean I get that.

    But it sounds like you want to add two layers of wrap on the roof?

    I think just one layer of good quality wrap should do it.

    I thought roof wrap and then a roof rack as well, but people like to do different things haha.

    But yeah, a good quality one should last you a couple years.

    @mesojdm wrapped the roof of his QS in a flat black before he put the roof rack on.

    Would love to do something like this, or even paint. But that XM antenna complicates it since you have to remove the headliner to take that off.

    I’m definitely wrapping my roof before I install a rack. It won’t be easy to wax anymore, so my thoughts are that the vinyl will prevent scratching and allow me to just wipe it down occasionally. The only thing I’m not settled on is a color.
