Roof Rail Covers
Are the covers interchangable? I need a Pax side front cover and I can't find one anywhere...

if I can take a rear drivers side which ideally would be the reverse of the front pax I could grab that.

Are you talking about the lock shields on the cross bars or the front curved rail covers on either side of the sunroof?

the former, thule
the latter, eBay or junkyard.

Oh, then... it sounds like you mean the rails? As opposed to the crossbars? In that case, I'm not sure - I thought you meant the crossbars.

If you’re talking about the rails, no spare parts are available. And they’re not made by Thule.
