H2 Crossbars: How do you get THIS back on?

[erdoc1633]

Hey!

Does anyone know how to get the rubber strip on the crossbars back on after having to remove them? I've been trying for awhile now and I can't seem to get it to stay in the grooves. Any tricks out there?

Thanks!

It's been a while but you only have two choices....

You can either put it on there, slide one edge in (lengthwise) and gradually work the other side in with a screwdriver.

Or you can slide it in from the end but you'll have to lube it.

Not sure my description helps but....

I guess I'll try the lubricating route:giggling: ..... when I tried with a screwdriver earlier it pushed it too far down. These are a *$@*# to get back in! They like 5-6 years-old, I'm sure that doesn't help. Thanks for the advice!

Heather, age of the strips is not good. Try rubbing then down with armoral or son of a gun something like that to get flexibilty back in them. It has been a while since I had to mess with them.
