  Roof Rack, Rail Roof Rack Side

• Description:

  The roof rail is the structural side rail that bolts to the roof panel of the Explorer and forms the mounting foundation for factory crossbars, cargo baskets, bike carriers and other roof mounted accessories. Ford catalogs this piece as Roof Rail, also listed as Roof Rack or Rail Roof Rack Side, and this variant is the left hand driver side unit in black finish for bodies built with the sunroof opening. Because the sunroof and non sunroof roof stampings use different attachment bosses and reinforcement locations, the sunroof specific rail is not interchangeable with the solid roof version and a mismatch will leave the studs misaligned. Owners typically shop for this part after a car wash brush or a garage strike cracks the rail, after the textured coating fades and chalks, after the end caps split and begin to lift, or after wind noise and whistling develops at highway speed because the rail has worked loose on its mounting studs. Water intrusion into the headliner is another common driver, since the rail covers sealed roof penetrations. Install with fresh seals at each mounting boss, tighten the studs evenly from front to rear, and confirm the rail sits flush along its full length before loading any accessory onto it. This is a genuine Ford component built to original fit, finish and load rating.
