    roof rack rail cover

    Anyone have the roof rack rail cover piece that you take on and off when putting on roof racks?
    I just noticed one of mine on drivers side is gone.
    If you always keep a roof rack on you should have this sitting in your garage in a pile with all the other VX stuff.

    Unless you modded them like I did to fit back on after the roof rack is installed. I seem to remember a while ago a set of 4 rail covers going for a pretty penny on eBay...

    And just FYI, the fronts are different than the backs. So which one are you missing?

    I just took mine off last week, but the plastic was so brittle that the plastic clip parts on all of them broke off. Ugh. Sorry about that. It made me mad. I'd send em to you if they hadn't broke tho.

    Except some of us that had the custom rail caps made so they can be used WITH the roof rack.

    Not surprised that you customized them Kat.

    I need the front drivers side cover.
    Will take a broken one and try to play with it if that is all I can get.

    Yeah, you might be able to use like hot glue or something to keep it in place.

    Well I can't take credit for the idea or the craftsmanship....somebody started it a while back, can't recall who, and then VT_Mav made mine.

    I'm not sure I started, but I did mine back in 2006.

    Here's the link....from my old site...still haven't transferred the data over to the new site.

    Yeah, like I said, I think a set went for over $400 once on eBay.

    Someone has got to remember that.

    Yes these are rare pieces that have demanded upwards of $350 for a set of 4 multiple times in the past.

    Git yer bids in folks!

    Shipped from the U.K. though.

    Seriously, if they're worth that much, I'd list them on ebay and fit a rack, if I could get an OEM to replace them with, assuming that they thusly become entirely surplus to requirements, of course, though looking at the photo above, it looks like you still need to infill the gaps. Hmmmm.

    Anyone got one?

    I just read an article that a lady was trying to sell (illegally) a spec of moon dust for like 1.5 million dollars

    That's nothing; did you see the documentary a few years ago where some guy was literally selling tracts of land on the Moon for millions with legal contracts and all the trimmings?

    Forgive the pun but it's rather a grey area!

    Next thing, they'll be claiming ownership and selling land on Earth too.

    DOH!
