Question,
Has anyone purchased the cross bars for the roof side rails sold by GM? I was wondering if the cross bars are fully adjustable along the entire length of the side rails. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

Well darn...try THIS (http://chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1607) one. Other one worked before. :confused: Sorry about that. :red:

HERE (http://motors.search.ebay.com/?from=R40&satitle=HHR+rack) are a couple things on eBay that might work. Don't know much about roof racks and prices, so I don't know if they are a good deal or not.

I gave up trying to use the factory rails and went with the Thule.
Like Deb said there are a number of threads already, so just do a search although I know it didn't seem to be working earlier this afternoon

Look for my post. If you have more questions send me an eMail or another post. I believe the factory rails are adjustable but I just didn't like them and now I just remove the whole basket and rails together. Oh, bye the way it looks like you just joined so welcome to the site, there are a great bunch of people who contribute and although we may not always agree you will always get a response to your questions :smile:

Hey John,
Thanks for the welcome to the site...it certainly looks great and I'm happy I found it! A question for you...when you say you gave up on the factory rails, what problems were you having?
Thanks,
Darryl

I had my dealer order an OEM set for the HHR and I took them home to put them on. They were the wrong ones so I returned them and told them to order another set. Well, I am not sure they ever ordered another set because when I went back to the dealer they tried to put the same set back on. They were setting to high on the roof and at the wrong angle. I just think someone in the assembly line when they put the package together picked up a wrong component, because the bars looked fine it was the rail connectors that were the wrong part. I am now happy it did not work out because the Thule cross rails I got are much stronger and I really like the way they wrap around the entire side rail. We only use the basket in the summer so the rest of the year I just remove the entire assembly as one piece. There is a thread on another forum where I guy did put on the factory rails.
