2006 Roof Rack Delete (3 Viewers)

[WaHoo]

So, I took a new job and found out (in an unfortunate way) that the garage I park in has pipes that hang down about 1/4 inch below the top of the roof rack. So, I have never used the rack and that makes the option to remove it a bit easier. I have found what I think are the trim pieces:

Drip Molding - Toyota (75505-60020)​

Drip Molding - Toyota (75506-60020)​

My question is what other hardware will I need (I am guessing the bolts that hold the roof rack down are going to be too long). Does anyone have a P/N for these? As well, if there is a post, please pass along, the search wasn't my friend on this one.

Thanks
Wes

I can't remember the bolt size / pitch for the roof rack. I'd suggest just pulling one out and matching it up at the hardware store with something a bit shorter. I don't think you'll need any other hardware but you'll need some caulking.

I used this really good 3M marine sealant , it stays pliable but it rated for underwater. There are different versions of this, 3M suggested the 4000
