For you wagon guys

Not mine, but thought this was an interesting listing. Probably not too many of these around anymore.

Hil-air-e-ous.

Couldn't give mine away...3 times (3 different cars). Can't understand why anyone would want that eyesore on their roof

I can see why some want it, it helps out a certain look with wagons, if mine had it I’d probably keep it until/unless I was getting it painted.

But, mine never had one(with no plans to add it) and I’m happy about that 👍

Mine was removed and never reinstalled. In fact, it got tossed out in the trash. That's about what they're worth.

I would give my roof rack away plus a few hundred dollars if the holes all got magically filled and the paint matched and I did not have to drop the headliner and replace all the wagon-only garnish clips....

Got to put down that crack pipe....

That one was for sale back when I first bought my wagon..... nearly three years ago. Ain't no way I'm paying that much coin for one.

As for not wanting one on the roof, mine was missing and I actually wanted one because I use mine.... A LOT!!! I've hauled ladders, folding tables, Christmas trees, baseball equipment, and the list goes on.

I ended up with one off an early 70s full size Olds wagon that I cut down to fit. It was a little rough but it certainly does the job. The rib strips are aluminum bar stock from the hardware store. Stainless screws.

Mark,
At least you put a durable rack back on there compared to the crap that these cars came with.

Hoping to rework the rack on the parts blazer for the gypsy wagon... one that’s on there now looks like it led a hard, hard life....

The only requirement I placed on myself is that it needed to look like it belonged there. So I didn't want something off a newer vehicle or a SUV or minivan.

Mine was original but what a POS. Good for nothing so off it came and no regrets. I kept the ribs. If I'm hauling plywood or drywall I just stick some cardboard on first then tie it all down with straps through the doors.
