Took luggage rack off a '01 2dr

JWC111985 · 03-21-2005, 04:46 PM

That was pretty damn simple actually! No 3M tape or anything once you get the 8 screws out..which were pretty tightly screwed in, but once you get em unscrewed the rack came right off. Only thing that sucks is that the rack kinda left a light imprint where it was screwed on so hard to the body and since I have a white Blazer it kinda shows, but other than that it looks great! I just put the screws back in the holes. Chevy should have just left it like this from factory..I mean it's an SUV, put your luggage in the back haha

I wanna take mine off too, but I dont want the damn outlines left on the roof....I might break down and do it one of these days.

JWC111985 · 03-21-2005, 04:54 PM

Yeah, the outlines suck balls. It left kind of a dark marking where it was pressed..concentrated dirt I guess? It was pretty filthy up under there somehow?

JWC111985 · 03-21-2005, 06:46 PM

On a side note. FAWK I got my first door ding/scratch! Ahh this sucks, I was at Sam's Club and I guess some fat bastid needed that 5 pound bag of Oreos pretty bad. The friggin scratch starts with some left/right movements from ass cheek wiggling from the jerk that has to kick open his car door... from then it goes straight down like almost a friggin inch I guess from where his shocks musta been bottoming out as he/she rolled out of said vehicle. Damn, I know my Blazer's a daily driver and all, but it made it 4 years and 34k miles without a scratch! until NOW! ugh! It's so deep too..took out the clear and paint..Oh well, I guess these things happen

i took mine off a while ago i think it looks much better without it. i have the outlines there too, but i think that when it gets warmer out ill clay-bar it...should be able to get it off of there

BLAZ1N · 03-25-2005, 03:31 PM

a good wax should take out those marks

if not use a light grit compound

bristol16 · 03-25-2005, 03:37 PM

i like the look of the roof rack. better than just a huge chunk of painted roof up there. besides....i need someplace to carry skiis and snowboards in the winter when i got a group of friends.

Hey All, I need the pass side roof mounts from a blazer. I ripped my rack completely off yesterday off roading. All I need are the passenger side mounts, no rails or anything else.

jmwxtreme43 · 07-28-2005, 01:21 PM

i would take mine off but the bravada ones look way nicer and sleeker than the other ones, plus the holes and outlines i dont want....

Mr Bravada · 07-28-2005, 03:02 PM

yea i agree jmw, but my truck is just low enough to see the outlines....and i don't wanna lift it back up....thats counter-productive

rydin4life · 07-28-2005, 04:47 PM

I have some lines where I took it off, but I washed, hit it with the clay bar, and used some touch up paint, then waxed...and you can barely tell

Word, wash+rubbing compound+paint cleaner+wax all of those should make a good difference, try some detailing solutions. Mine has fairly permanenet marks but since I did all the detail work to it you can barely tell. Also PAIINT YOUR SCREWS! It will look 100X cleaner and you wont even notice the screws are there

adaman04 · 08-13-2005, 03:18 PM

Can I get a pic of the holes left in the roof from the screws? I am thinking about removing the rack off my '99 Jimmy.

Brandon615 · 08-19-2005, 05:50 PM

I have removed the roof rack off of mine. Go to www.z-34.com and click on 1999 Blazer for pictures.

JoESkiLoVe17 · 09-03-2005, 01:49 AM

hmmm, just took my roof rack off of my '01 and i had none of these outlines you're talking about. It was hella dirty that was about it but just wiped off with a wet rag and it was fine.
