Tie Down Rings

Post by chopperdad44 »

Wondering if anyone has found tie down rings that can be installed in the roof rack?

Has anyone tried fitting the cargo tie-downs from the interior to the top rack? Curious if those will fit the track.

They won't fit. Looked at that first. They have to have an open end in the rack.

I do know that the stock cross-bars for the late 90s Chevy Blazer and GMC Jimmy will fit the Vibe roof rails (with some shortening of the screws) and both models have a 'loop' on each end of the bar. I thought that was pretty handy and will be looking for those at the junkyard instead of Vibe bars...

Actually, they do fit; I've got them mounted on the roof rack on mine.
