I have a kayak roof rack that clamps onto the factory crossbars. Due to an unfortunate incident involving my spouse and a multi-story parking garage things got banged up a bit. While the kayak rack survived the front crossbar got almost ripped out from the passenger side rail.
The crossbar did not fair well and the part it bolts into on the roof rail is damaged beyond repair. Anyway, I got a new crossbar but it didn't come with the parts inside the rails to attach too. Dealer says I need a whole new rail as the connector isn't sold separately. Quoted me a price north of 1k just for the rail.
Any advice? Anyone know if the dealer is scamming me and I can get the connector without the whole rail? If so, a link or part number would be of great help.
Thx.
