Hi. I need some help ladies and gentlemen. I recently added a gobi roof rack and all went well.
This is a long story so I'll try to make it short. I need to access the bolts that hold the rails to my rack. I want to reinforce them from the inside which reside on each corner side running down the roof. I have tried searching on how to drop the headliner for a screw on here but I havnt been very successful. I just want to access the edges of the roof and while I'm there, install my gps antenna and run the wiring into the cab for the roof rack in the rear. (the bolts the hold the rails for the gobi rack rails are secured with jack nuts). I want to add washers and create more surface area for peace of mind and to add a bandu no pole swing out awning and my james baroud rtt for my expeditions.
So, the question is: may someone help me with a procedure to partially drop the headliner on a screw to achieve access to the screws that sit just to the inside of the airbags. I dont want to drop the entire headliner if I dont need to. I'd need access on all four doors pretty much and enough room to add my washers .... and my tool to secure the nut.
Any help would really help. I'll try and add some pics of the rack so you all can see what the rails and rack look like. Thank you for any assistance.
