- 03 explorer xlt, 94 bronc
I have asked in the Bronco forums, and the general consensus is that this is an explorer roof rack. I asked in the Gen1 Explorer forums, and many believe this is a gen2 explorer roof rack. So I am asking here, with the hopes that someone would recgonize this and be able to help.
I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out with no luck. Also can anyone that has the stock rack, measure it and let me know the measurements of:
1. Crossbars length(metal part without plastic end connectors):
2. main rail length end to end:
3. Length of thin slats between main rails:
I have a few part numbers on the table, I might order to replace this:
F57Z-7855100-AA - Not sure what this is
F57Z-7855100-AAA - Gen1 Rack (Is this the one with the sliding locks?)
F67Z-7855100-AAA - Gen2 Rack?
Am I correct with these? Any ideas/help??
Are all the Gen2 thin slats between the main rails riveted, or are any of them just adhesive (no holes for rivets at the ends)???
The one thing that doesn't look like anything I have seen is the cut out shape where the locking thumbwheels are in the end connectors.
I have a strange request, my 94 bronco has a roof rack on it I don't recgonize and neither does anyone else. I think it *might* be a OEM ford explorer roof rack that the dealer bolted on a bronco (fullsize), I have found explorer racks that are close, but not exact. Can anyone here identify this? All I know is that it came from the dealer with the truck, truck was purcahsed by me in 97. Truck is a 94, and I was told it was on the truck when it was purchased new from dealer, but ford never made an OEM rack for the bronco.
Either its aftermarket (haven't been able to ID it), or its a ford (or other) oem from another vehicle. What I do know is the cross members (screw in locks with sliding threaded plates in main rails, not a sliding lock) look close to the 96 explorer rack, but the end connectors look different.
Also the thin slats in the middle are held by pressure sentitive adhesive (no holes for rivets/screws), the main rails are screwed down. I thought the Gen1 explorers had adhesive slats and the Gen2 were riveted slats. See pictures below. I'm trying to find the *exact* one that is on there that was destroyed, noone in bronco forums recgonizes it, I figured someone here might. Any help greatly appreciated.
