Roof Rack Recommendation for 2006 Chevy Uplander

Question

Question:

I have a 2006 Chevy Uplander with no rails. I also have a railing foot pack from Thule that was from another care. As part of that rack, I also have at least 2 and maybe 4 of the cross bars. Is there a way I can get new feet for the uplander and reuse the cross bars and/or these thule brackets that hold the bars? See attached photo for the information about the Thule product. Im sure it is like more than 10 years old. Id like to reuse it because I also have some kayak stuff that goes with it. Thanks.

Thule does not make a roof rack solution that fits the naked roof versions of the 2006 Chevy Uplander. Closest thing would be the Inno brand roof rack that consists of part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK585. This won't reuse any of your Thule roof rack but your roof carriers will fit this same square bar style of rack that you had.

Can you tell me what model year your Tacoma is? Thule recently re-designed their crossbars and mounting components, so the correct parts for your older square bars might not be available, but I will be happy to check to be sure.
