Help with bolt sizes (especially for roof rack)

[darinhouston]

My roof rack was factory installed so I have no instructions/schematics. I didn't pay that close attention to the bolts when I first removed it and now I realize there are 2 shorter ones with washers. If it was 4 of them, I would think they secure the rear crossbar but there are only 2. Could I have used those elsewhere for something?

Can anyone identify the bolts for the roof rack for me?

I found an assembly drawing online and it shows 8 of the same size bolts - so, now I'm thinking it must be from something else that took those bolts and I used the wrong ones putting some back on/together. Any ideas? The only other thing I remember removing is the MIC top.

The roof rack does use 8 bolts. Two bolts on each side to loosen the front arms of the rack, then two more in each side of the cross arm if you removed that. I kept my crossbar intact so I only had 4 bolts total after removal. The two bolts you are talking about could be the ones that bolt in the rear top section from the top, one on each side. You have all the bolts inside the MIC that you have to remove, but there are two more bolts that go in on the top side of the vehicle as well.

Those are much larger bolts. These are the same size as the other 6 but shorter and with washers.
