Where to get cross bars for roof rack?

[Frank Swygert]

I have a 2003 Expy, but there are no cross bars on the roof rack. Don't know if previous owner removed or they were never there. There are small tapped (threaded) metal plates in the side rails that move, so it was at least made for factory bars. I don't like the clamp on aftermarket bars that sit on top of the rails. Anyone know where I could get bars that fit like factory, or have a pair they aren't using and would sell?

Call a boneyard or go to Pull-a-part in Columbia. If you pull it yourself you can get any missing hardware along with it.

I tossed my '03's factory crossbars and use Yakima crossbars that support a canoe bracket. Mainly because they work great with my canoe trips and they are easily removeable when not needed for a clean roofline and no wind noise. They mount in the stock rails.
