Hoop cross bars question ... and a suggestion
Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2020 8:45 pm
On my 6 passenger (long body) Haf, there is about 11 inches extra between the rear door hinges and the front door latches. This is compared to the Pathfinder that I sold, which has no room there. So the hoop just behind the roll bar has 2 horizontal cross members that go forward, but have no attachment point onto the roll bar. Normal? Perhaps they attach to a lighter hoop when not using the roll bar? See photos, and thanks for your help. No luck while going through my illustrated parts manuals looking for a solution.
In addition, the parts manuals call for rubber grommets when assembling the side panels and hoops to control vibration/rattles. Those are long gone but ..... wait for it .... (!) .... I found a great inexpensive substitute to use where the long body pegs stab into the holes. See my attached photo. Readily available at Home Depot in the garden section. Sweet.
Be safe,
