My question is if it's possible to add factory roof rails to a vehicle without factory rails.
I've got a 2004 GLS that came factory WITHOUT roof rails, but instead there's black lining that runs the length of the roof (where factory roof rails would be).
I've got ski racks, and my X bar roof rack from my previous vehicle, and they won't mount without longitudinal raised rails.
I've read a lot about people going for the Rhino Rack for added load, but put simply I don't need extra roof load, and it'll be far cheaper buying factory rails from a wrecker.
If anyone has done this, or can provide any information (headlining needing to come off, holes to be drilled in the roof, or not, etc) that would be great!
Cheers
