mr_o_uk Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi, I bought a second hand roof rack. What I didn't realize is that you have to remove the roof trim to fit. The kit usually comes with replacement trim (with gaps for bars). Because I bought it second hand I didnt get this trim. Does anyone know where I can get this trim from? If ford are the only people, does anyone know part numbers or price? Thanks in advance. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberes Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 In fact, you only need the 4 little covers. You can cut the old roof trims yourself and glue them back on with either Sikaflex (or alike) or 3M double sided fixing tape. I am not so sure if Ford sells those as separate item, aks your local dealer. Why don't you swap your trims with the ones from the guy you bought the rack from ??? Here's the piece upside down : And you might need the screws also (normal thread) : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys-G Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Sorry to be off topic abit, but how easy is it to take these trims off? I'm going to give it a shot to wrap my roof black. And more i think it will probs be more easy to take these trims out for a better job :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the (white) tape on this picture : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_o_uk Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 I bought them 6 months ago and have only just needed to fit them so the seller is long gone.. I just took the step and pulled them off. I took care and used a plastic card to break the seal so as not to bend them. There is a lot of gunk/paint under them!!! I then had to dig out the holes! The trim came off in one piece - no kinks or damage, so I will just leave the car without and stick them back down covering the holes when I give it back (it's a company car) So all is good. Bars are on. Trim is stored for refitting later. Company will never know. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
