R50 OEM Roof Rack

[PibeGuerra]

Hello people, I want to put a OEM roof rack on my 04 SE pathfinder. I really like this one because it looks sturdier than the more common 5 crossbar model:

The problem is that I could not find the instructions to install it,so do not know exactly what hardware do I need.

 

Could you guys help me figure this out?... Thanks in advance.

I thought all SE's from 02-04 had that style rack?? What kind do you have? I would say go to a junkyard and pull the rack you want. That way you end up with all the necessary parts can see exactly what it takes to remove/install.

Yes, just pull the complete rack. Though, the rails on your current rack are the same as the 'lower' rails on the updated style. So, you basically need the upper rails (with Pathfinder letters), crossbars, the front and rear caps, and the plastic trim that goes from rail to the windshield (I think those pieces just slide forward, IIRC). Beyond that, you shouldn't need to make any major changes to your current rack, short of sliding off the 5 crossbars. But you can keep those for additional load support and roof protection...I use a couple on mine for that reason.
