I can't remember the name of the rubber anchor nuts for the roof rack. What are the names of those ? Does any one know of a cheaper supplier then the dealer for those ? Thank you :star:

I need about half of them. Our dealership wants like $ 4 a piece. When I find some I'll let you know.

Nutserts or rivetnuts.

Nutserts and rivnuts are metal. I actually got mine at my local ACE hardware store where they have the hardware assortment in the pull out drawer systems. I think the supplier is Sharon.

I have usually found them under the name "Well Nuts," and the ones for 1/4" screws will fit in the holes without modification. You should be able to find them for about $.70 each at the local hardware store, but it may take a couple trips to get enough (I think I needed a dozen when I peeled my roof rack off a couple summers ago.)
You'll also need to get new screws when you replace the well nuts, since I seem to recall the OEM well nuts answering to screws with a weird thread. Use brass or CRES button head screws for replacements.

i went thru this last spring and was told by several dealers that they were on national backorder.. local searches came up with nothing... i ended up hard bolting the rack to the roof because i have a 33" spare up there...

You should be able to get well nuts at ordinary auto parts stores if your dealer doesn't have them, and they should be a little cheaper than the dealer price, though they're still not cheap.
