roof rails

i want some! ill check around for some or atleast one thats good, i doubt there is any though.

ya I'm almost 100% sure that they are the same and that i could duplicate them. or at least close enough

do you mean same from side to side? pretty sure they're mirror images of one another. i needs me some regardless.

exactly

The rails are vertical on the side facing the sunroof & slanted on the opposite side, as well as curved to fit the roof. You will need to duplicate both rails. Good luck.

Or reverse the pattern.

if he get 2 he can make a mold of both then return them to the owner

If I had an extra set I would lend them to you but I dont even have my own set of Rails but I definatly wouldnt mind a set.

i asked a guy around the block if he was willing to take his roof rails off his 02 special edition to sell them. he didn't even ask me what i was willing to pay before he said no.

there's another one around, i'm gonna ask him next time i see him.

i'll be attempting molds as soon as i get myself a pair.

ask to borrow them, im sure strangers wont mind

so with how long this has been dead i assume you were never able to make a mold?

I don't think anyone ever bothered to send him their rails to make the molds with.

Otherwise he could be mass producing at a cheap price and make everyone happy and put some money in the bank. lol

apparently GM has a patent on them and sued 3 people for trying to selling their own or something.

Gm sueing? Well there goes my plans to reproduce them (smashes plaster casting of rails) hahah

lol idk, thats what Matt Palm said in chat

That would be another reason GM is going under, chasing people making copies of parts they discontinued and no long sell. I wouldn't see the problem, not like GM can sell a part that is no long kept in inventory.

yeah the guy i bought my rails from works for gm and there has been 3 lawsuits about people just reproducing them not even selling them and gm won all of the suits

Wow. How much did you pick em up from him for?

So if i make them and install them on my car, gm canada will magically find out, sue me, and the court will order me to destroy them?

Only on gpf.
