I bought my son an SE and it didn’t come with roof rails, so I’m wondering if anyone had them installed after buying? I’m wondering how they are attached to the roof. Thanks

Funny you should ask this. My SE didn't come with rails so I just bought some from a salvage yard on eBay and they're going to be delivered today.

I didn't take off the roof moldings yet, but from looking at parts diagrams I think that there are some brackets w/ bolts to hold the rails that are welded to the car.
A friend of mine with a welder is going to help me out, once I gather all the parts I need. Not sure when that will be, but I will definitely post updates when I do.

Has anyone removed the roof rails and replaced them with the strip from an se model. Not a fan of the rails. It makes it hard to clean the roof.
