Roof rail info on Gremlins - '78 GT measurements...

[Gremlingts@xxxx]

 Ok, I went out and measured my roof rails with a metal measuring tape, 
couldn't bend it easily around the roofline on the side, so some measurements 
won't really be too precise. Here goes -

- (4) roof rails, approximately 40 and 1/4 inch long ( maybe minus 1/16th 
inch or so )
- ends are pointy, with flat 1/8th inch tip to them, approximately
- center-to-center rail measurement approximately 9 and 11/16th inches, 
maybe minus 1/64th inch
- inner-to-inner edge distance between adjacent rails is 9 and 3/16ths 
exactly, it looked like.
- 29 and 3/8ths inch distance between OUTER edges of OUTER two rails.
- Rear tips of rails are practically even with rear edge of roof rack rail, 
and approximately 8 and 3/4 inches from raised "point" on rear sheetmetal 
roof lip closest to (outer) rails. 
- Front tips of rails approximately 6 and 1/2 inches from the top edge of 
front windshield moulding.

Well, this isn't the most precise measurement methodology, but it's the 
best I have available. I'll check my Crash Estimating guides, see if they 
have any more info on location of the rails. Doubtful, though. Probably an 
internal AMC technical bulletin somewhere on it, I'm sure. Good luck with 
your installation!
