Question:

Hello, I have a 2019 Tacoma with an A.R.E. CX HD topper. The HD Model comes with roof bars no choice. I do not know who makes them and need to get an M8 bolt/washer/nut set-up to go in the sliders to mount a rack. The sliders that came with the rack have M6 holes and too short bolts. Will this bolt work in the slots on the A.R.E.? Ill attach a few pics. Thank you

We haven't tested and don't know the dimensions of the openings of the bars on your A.R.E. topper, so the best I can offer is the dimensions of the head of the Replacement M8 T-Bolt for Thule Roof Rack Gutter Feet # 853-0782.

Hopefully you can use that to determine whether or not they will fit for you. As for the head, it measures 0.7 inches square (about 11/16") and has a height of 0.19 inches (about 3/16").
