This was such a pain in the ass, I figured other dabblers might benefit. This was my stock vehicle. 2014 passenger titanium with those rails on top. I want a rack.
Remember that weird tool you bought that "makes drills go around corners"? Does it sound like an "extra expense" now Jennie? DOES IT?!
Alright, now some would say you need to take the entire interior apart. They're wrong. You only need to take 3/4 of the van apart.
The roof rack on the stock rails has five mount points. The one in the back is very easy to remove.
This one was designed by Satan himself and exists beside both an airbag pump, airbag curtain, and the access point doesn't fit standard tool fittings.
Then again, the roof rack is as intended. Couldn't be happier with the result.
Since I couldn't find much info on where to start this project, I decided to just document it myself!
Some of the process
