Title: Chief roofrack
Post by: Bulldog67 on July 17, 2010, 10:31:14 PM

Hardly worth a thread but took the chief roof rack off to paint the roof, and when puttin it back on it doesnt seem to wanna tighten up: do the rubber things u screw into have to be replaced everytime?

rubber

a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,

And how do you think they got there?

    The butcher, the baker,
    The candlestick-maker,
    They all jumped out of a rotten potato,

'Twas enough to make a man stare

You never heard that nursery rhyme bulldog.

rubber is not normally used as a fastener especially on a roofrack are there no metallic fixings anywhere??
