Simple solution.... Remove the caps, install a light bar. Then head to the wilderness and enjoy!!!

Oh wait.... you could be a 4 door and only cruise the mall! Lol

Team 2 Door = Its a Legend...

I run the roof rack, so no light bar.

Few thousand mile update. I've installed and uninstalled rack a few times now. Caps are still on. So haven't tested cables yet.

Jc Whitney, we used to read those catalogs as kids and laugh at the crazy stuff ,fav was pinky the cat with light up brake light eyes.

My fave was the toilet paper oil filter canister, even with a double stack option for larger vehicles

I’ve heard stories about people losing the painted caps. I have mine off and on regularly as I don’t always run my roof rack. So after pulling the roof rack today, I made a “Safety Line” this way I can at least not lose the caps.
I drilled a small hole in the base and ra

I drilled a small hole in the cap next to the clip hole

Now they will stay together when off and shouldn’t fly away if it pops off going down the road.

Wire is a green coated stainless wire, have to make it match lol.

Anyone know the part number for the caps? I've tried every number found inside it.

Howdy, I live in Wyoming and my Bronco is slated to arrive by November. I’ve seen other broncos with the caps missing in my area. I probably won’t ever install roof rails due to how high the roof is to pull gear off rack and wind noise. 60mph winds is common in Wyoming sometimes more.

So with that said what’s my best option on having the caps stay down? Gorilla Glue?
Double sided tape?

Thanks!

I think this is very rare. All I do is highway driving at 75mph. Still got my caps.

I lost one yesterday. I went to a touchless carwash for the first time yesterday since my dealership performed TSB 22-2403 to fix the water leak from the windshield header/aux switches. When I got home, I noticed the driver's side cover was gone. Went back to the carwash to look around, no luck. Coincidence?
