I am assuming that the rail is inserted into the gutter as on a 2006, if that is the case, I imagine that a main stealer would only supply a whole rail ( Probably a pair ) expensive. If no one has a spare try several breakers, you would probably have to buy the rail insert? but it should be quite cheap, especially as there will not be a big demand for these. You might get lucky and just get the insert that way. |

Somebody was 3d printing these and selling them on eBay, can't see them now though... the complete rails are very expensive to replace, there are some second hand ones on eBay but they want £150 for them |

Thanks for the replies. Ordered from eBay, and in the correct colour which is a bonus! |

They are quite difficult to get in without breaking them IiRC Pete. Not even sure they can be fitted from the top, pretty sure that the rails have to come off so that you aren’t forcing them in. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

nmj - I now have this mental image in my head of a monkey waving a roof rail insert at you, whilst you go completely mascara, ( Go apeshit would be too bad a pun ) whilst trying not to swear in front of the Missus and kids |

Yes, they can be removed, and I assume installed, from the bottom side of the rail.

Now you’ve got me worried! Surely the watertight integrity of the roof doesn’t rely on a grub screw being in place? |

Don't worry, the threaded hole is blanked, not straight through, so don't worry about water ingress.
