But don't use stainless steel bolts for high tension applications.....the heads can pop right off.

My car had 6 holes in the deck, and looked for 6 months before I found a used one in good shape. I was told by a supplier that no one is making them any more. I wished I did not have one, but after installing it i kind of like it.

When I was looking for a car to buy, I would pass on any one that had a luggage rack. Something to consider if you ever plan to sell, they shrink your market considerably. Can put one on but require a really good fiberglass body man to make the holes disappear . IMHO

No matter how good of a job the "BEST" body guy can do, EVENTUALLY you can see the filled holes showing through. Might be a year, it might be 10, but they will show up & after spending $15 - $20K on a show quality paint job, you won't be happy !!! The Heat, cold expansion, body flex & stress, etc all play into the GHOST HOLES .............
