Roof luggage rack on R/T?
Hey guys,
Have any of you RT guys put a luggage rack on top of your D?
I know as part of the RT package they remove the stock luggage rack and I would like to have the stock luggage rack put on.
I think it would help give some dimension to the flat, long roof line.
We also use the rack and cargo basket on my wifes explorer all the time.
It looks good too.
I just don't know how advisable it is to drill into the roof after the fact. I don't want to have to deal with any water leaks into the headliner.

If the vehicle did not come equipped with a roof rack from factory, Mopar has an aftermarket kit available for a removable roof rack that is stowable. I would recommended contacting your Dodge dealer parts department for additional part information and availability.

Thanks for the link Shelby. I see franco90 put a rack on. It looked good too. I don't like the look of the aftermarket Thule ones.
Would love for franco90 to chime in and let me know where he ordered it, who installed it for him (dealership or himself), and if it is holding up to the weather.
