Question Roof rack problem
While removing rack from car the screw turned too far and the nut fell off. Now everything is in pieces and I am having a mental block on how to get the nut back on the screw with the pieces put back together. Anyone have this problem?

Same thing happened to me. I tried to put the back support rail on the front, turned the screw out too far...and kerplunk.

It was a royal pain in the butt to get it back together properly, but eventually I got it. Won't make that mistake again!

I had this problem... Ended up using crazy glue to attach nut to the backbone... Stupid, but worked.
