gonna drill holes in my roof....

[hhvibe]

.... but can't find a wiring diagram.2009 vibe. I need a real roof rack. I have a yakima rack system that requires drilling the roof. Tried getting a wiring diagram from the dealer, no success. Any ideas?HH

What wires do you need?

this may be a stupid question but why are you drilling into your roof yakimia sells feet that bolt into the stock roof rack mounting holes. why not do that? what kind of rack is this that you are trying to attach?

As stated, figure out what you need to do before you go drilling holes as they are pretty permanent. Not sure why you'd need a wiring diagram for this, only remotely possible thing I can think of is not wanting to cut through wires while drilling the holes, but a wire diagram wont do you much good for that. You would need to drop the headliner to see what wires are up there. Good luck with whatever you're attempting to do!

Don't drill holes in your roof. There are options from Yakima and Thule that do not require drilling holes.

Not sure what the wiring diagram is going to do for you. Single thickness sheetmetal is not going to provide a very robust attachment point for a roof rack. You're much better off attaching to the existing roof rack attachment points.

I would also try to use the existing predrilled and tapped roof rack mounting locations. Prehaps you can have metal adapter plates made up to interconnect the connection points of your rack to the vibe roof. You would also have to have soft weatherstrip gaskets to seal and protect the roof. My comment is just an off the top of my head idea without knowing your real concerns.How come you can not buy and install the original 2009 Vibe racks?
