So I have the two cross members for the roof rack on my 94RMW but I don't have the little knobs the screw them down. I think I actually gave them back to the previous owner because I found a bag of his belongings in it and I think I remember seeing those in that bag. So I'm wondering if there is any replacement or alternatives to using the knobs. Has anyone found a different knob that works or maybe something from a Home Depot or a hardware store that has little knobs that could work. If nobly has any ideas I could try contacting the previous owner and see if he has them around still. Also I recently for a Caprice wagon in a local junk yard and it had both cross members on it but they were a different style of roof rack.

So is there any alternatives to the knobs or should I contact the previous owner? And can the caprice roof rack work on my 94 RMW without to much modifying?

My cross members are in good shape they just need a sand and paint that's why they look funny

The caprice cross bars do not work on Roadys as they are wider. The knobs can be purchased from a hardware store. They are a plastic star knob with sort stubby threaded stems. There is a flat square disc with points at the corners that the knobs thread into. As you tighten, the discs grab the underside of the travel rail.

^^^what he said. Also, Lexus RX300 SUVs use the exact same racks if you see one in the JY.
