Anyone know what size screws the luggage rack takes? I took mine off 6 years ago and the screws that hold it down to the roof went awol. Went to put it all back on the car tonight and was decently frustrated. Cut new foot pads and everything for it.

Sean,
Hardware Sales in Bellingham has a big assortment of oval head stainless machine screws as shown by Brad above. Find the size that fits the hole in the roof and the also the device it is securing. On my 63 roof rack I put some silicon sealant on the threads to insure no leak into the headliner.Dick Steinkamp

Make sure they are short so they do not attack the passengers. Any length two threads past the inside of the roof sheet metal is wasted.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.
