Just installed roof rails...

Greetings,

We just installed the factory chrome roof rails on our HHR and they look awesome, really completes the chrome package. However, I'm having problems with one of the end caps. It took an act of God to get it to seat properly and even now it looks as though its loose. I'm afraid of it falling off on the freeway. Has anyone installed these and had similar problems or anyone who already had them had similar problems?

Thanks,

Geoff.

You installed the actual oem side rails, not the crossbars? Was it difficult?

It's not too bad just have to have the guts to drill holes in your brand new vehical. it comes with the dill bit and an overlay on where to drill holes.

Are they strong enough to hold a load even though they're installed aftermarket?
