Someone posted a pic on FB with their missing rail mount cover.Looking at the service manual I believe it could be added later. The roof side molding pops off and under it should be pre-drilled holes. The roof rack bolts into the those holes. If so you could buy the parts and do the swap yourself.
Maybe someone can confirm by removing this piece (it just unclips) and taking a picture.
"Missing" as in fell off?Someone posted a pic on FB with their missing rail mount cover.
Missing as in factory forgot to install it (apparently from what I could gather from the FB comments)."Missing" as in fell off?
YIKES.Missing as in factory forgot to install it (apparently from what I could gather from the FB comments).
Does anyone know that part number for the Rail Mount Cover. One of mine came off, dealer won't cover it even though I've only had it one month. They want $130 to replace.
Yeah, Mine fell off.... $130 to replace."Missing" as in fell off?

That's crazy! It's a simple strip of plastic and if it fell off on its own one has to wonder if that is what happen to the SC that arrived at a dealer without one of them in place (It would never have passed inspection without it before leaving the factory). Never heard back on what the dealer did for that customer...Yeah, Mine fell off.... $130 to replace.
That’s exactly what I was thinking, thanks.That's crazy!

If you can, have the dealer look into upgrading you to the cross rail mount type. Everyone is dying to know if a Non-Activity Package SC can be upgraded with the Activity Package rails to mount crossbars to.
At $130 for one plastic piece, I'd be tempted to put that $130 towards the upgrade if it can even be done. Good luck.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised this morning when the general manager of the dealership called to let me know they are covering the cost of replacing the part. The power of a legitimate negative review.That's crazy!

ITS MY SAME ISSUE! I GOT THE SEL MODEL AND IT CAME WITHOUT IT !Hey all,
Does anyone know if the side rails are something that can be added later on or are you stuck getting activity package or above if you ever want a roof rack?
Remove the HEADLINER !!!!!!!!! :0Yup have the same SEL issue and I guess for now we’re stuck until aftermarket comes out with a solution.
To add roof rails they are bolted down which require the interior head liner removal for access 😡

Activity Package Roof Rail Removal
Has anyone with an Activity Package tried removing their roof rails yet or even looked at them to see how they are actually attached to the cab? Are there bolt covers visible? Maybe someone has removed them while doing a wrap or changing the color of their roof making their SC a two-tone(?)...www.santacruzforums.com
