I bought a roof rack and rear wind deflector from a guy and I took then off myself. The question I have is when I took them off the donor truck the screws went into thes look like brass plugs in the sheet metal. Well were can I get plugs to put the parts on my truck. Mine didn't come with thes parts on it. What's the best way to install the roof rack and wing on?

 

Idon`t Remember What The`re Called But ,When Working On Philco (ford) Refrigerators. We Assembly Line Repair Guys Used These On The Door Edges For The Trim Screws. They Inserted Thru A Hole Kind Of Like A Pop Rivet Only With Threads Like A Dry Wall Hole Anchor Only These Were Made Out Of BrassAnd Was Threaded For A 1/8th Fine threaded Beass Phillips Head Screw Type Of Bolt. You Might Try A Metal Fabricating Shop Just Thought This Info. Might Help Jog Someones Memory.

 

Yea.. Sadly the only thing i can think of would be go to a fab shop and see if you can get some. If not yota dealer might be able to get.

 

Go get yourself some wellnuts. They are rubber nut insert that bulges around the metal and forms a nice waterproof seal. Most shops use them to put racks on, don't even have to remove the headliner!

I got a factory one for the 4runner for $40

 

Google rivnut or nutsert. Don't let the power tool worry you. You can get a hand-operated one for pretty cheap. I picked up an entire kit for $20.

McMaster Carr is a one stop shop for all that type of stuff. Just a little hard to sort through the 10 billion items they carry.
