    I had no dents either in mine, but there were swell marks in the paint protection so i probably would have had dents if it wasnt for that layer of coating
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Thanks for that hazrd. Bummed that I didn't think to grab the part numbers from the dealer today. I need front and rear right, and rear left. Two of those match what you got. I had a hard time trying to find any online because I had no idea what their 'proper' name was.

    Local dealer tries to tell me that they had to be ordered in pairs - he backtracked when I queried him though.

    Do they look easy to fit? I don't want to end up with busted trim clips, with a snapped off half rattling around in the roof lining or something. And were they packed well? Hate for them to get crushed on the way over.

    i havent tried to fit them yet... ill be honest, it doesnt look easy, might even get the panel shop to fit them after they paint them for me

    they were packed really well, was wrapped in bubble wrap in quite a large box for them. If you email the guys at Twells with those part numbers they might have the other two part numbers on hand as they will know what you will be talking about once you give them an existing part no.

    remove the whole rail , use a flat screwdriver to disassemble it, then put the cover in place and assemble the whole rail.

    to remove the rail off the roof, use some fish line to go under the rail and pull upwards, work from rear to front, in memory there are four clip points for each rail, pull upwards at each clip point, one by one.
