==================
i read somewhere that someone rebuilds these (and gtv6) racks - lotta help, eh?
perhaps someone else on the a/d knows who/where.  mebbe it was in an ara mag;  i
thought it was in an aroc mag, but i couldn't find it.  if it can't be rebuilt,
you're gonna have to replace it - either way, it's gotta come outta the car.
