[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1039058, member: 61136"] Cully, if you do the project. You will have to get a good seal on the roof inserts. Not familiar with the gen 2 rail mounts. I removed my gen 1 rails. Ford used some sort of sealed female threaded inserts. That are sealed from moisture and do not turn in the punched holes in the roof sheet metal. My guess is they are installed under some type of compression. I never have dropped my headliner, to see the other side. I just thought I would toss this info in this thread. For those considering removing rails. What I did was found some plastic body inserts. I used RTV to glue them in the threaded holes. Then used touch up paint to color them.
