Roof Rack Cap Installation?

[irod87]

Has anyone replaced a missing roof rack endcap on an expedition. I ordered the part and it slides right on but im not seeing what holds the part on?

Its the passenger side rear cap.

None of the diagrams show anything holding it on so I would imagine it snaps in. Possible the piece on the rack that holds it in place is broken?

You might be right. Nothing looked broken but something isn't right.

Nothing to it, The flat tab shown slides inside the rail. You will see round pegs under the cap which snap into the corresponding female openings in the base. They pretty much install straight up and down. Once you get a good look at it, it will all make sense.

That might be my problem. I will try and snap a pic today. Under the cap their is a 'hole' that im thinking something should go into but on the vehicle I do not think the male part is there.

Should have white 'snap screw' on the base that attaches to the roof.

Anyone know what the part number is for the rear passenger roof rail end cap on a 2007 Expo EL limited? Noticed today mine is GONE! How'd that happen?
