Glass roof rack made by combining a few different parts (DIY)

[Shygar]

I wanted a basic roof rack over the glass roof for a few odds and ends while camping, but something that wouldn't interfere with my Cybertent. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, but I found a few parts to join together to get it pretty close to what I want.

First I ordered the CyberGear Co molle panels. For whatever reason I thought this was a complete roof rack system, but after ordering I realized it wasn't.

I then tried to get just the rack over the glass from CyberGear Co and the only would sell the full 4 bar size. So I looked around and found that Teslarati sold what looked like the same thing except in 2 bars over glass only for a lot cheaper. Not only that but they are local to me in Livermore so I just drove down and picked it up (so shipping was free too).

So this seemed to fit the panels I got. So I put it together and it seemed to fit great. The only thing is the CyberGearCo has some rubber gasket thing to fill in the gaps of the roof rack, which the Teslarati one didn't have, but I was able to find one that fit very well on Amazon:

The only other issue was the screws that come with the molle panels were too long for the Teslarati roof rack, so I ended up getting some extra washers from Home Depot and put 2 on each screw so I could tighten it down all the way.

I even did 4 wheeling and no issues except a couple of pin stripes from branches.

I think @hemiarch was looking for something like this

 

[hemiarch]

That’s actually exactly what I was looking for. I have a cybertent also and oem bars. Thanks @JCERRN
Glad to know it works. The other option I looked at is this…

If you’re still online, will yours work with the oem racks @CYBERTRUCKco ?

i have the roof racks from EVBase and have been wanting to order that Molle panel and get the same setup you have and mount my starlink to it. Hoping the molle panels will work with my EV Base rack. I have all 4 racks installed and am probably going to take the 2 back off as they are really in the way when getting in and out of the bed and loading stuff and I don't use them enough to justify the inconvenience. Nice setup, thanks for sharing!

@Cybergear, it sounds like there are a few people interested in acquiring your set of 3 molle panels. I’m one of them Are you able to offer any special discounts for forum members or is the FALL18 code on your site for the general public the best deal you have? Any upcoming expected promotions?

I keep the fourth one off, and leave the third one on since I just slide whatever underneath it.

Looks great. Ordered a set of tonneau bars for Halloween and Christmas lights.

What do you mean by tonneau bars?

Just the Teslarati rack over the bed.

So I followed your lead here and got the panels to put on my oem bars. The only issue is that the oem bars are curved I may have to put some washers under the outside screws to make up for the height difference between the middle and outer edges.
Does anyone have a better idea than washers?

Maybe some kind of rubber washer or gasket?

 

[hemiarch]

Yeah. I thought about that. Not sure if that affects how strongly the tbolts hold the platform on there.
At least there are multiple screws

Were you thinking something like this?
