Roof Rail Retrofit
Hi I bought a 2012 with no roof rails. it just has black strips down each side of the roof. I wanted to retrofit with a set of roof rails. Do those black strips come off? Are they just covers? I saw a set of used rails on ebay that have long posts/studs. Would I see those holes if black strips were removed? anybody have experience with these things? thanks

Need to remove a lot of trim, drop the headliner, remove black strips, install roof rails, there are seals that may need to be replaced. Give yourself the better part of an afternoon.

rail install instructions but as @pungo says the biggest part is the pre-requisite of dropping the headliner
