Wow, Jerry - Thanks! I've just joined this group and I guess you just got married - congrats! And I really appreciate your taking the time to measure thode things for me. I think I should be all set now, although my strips are technically incorrect ( with squared off ends ) I guess it will be OK. I'm actually shortening ones I got from a Concord wagon in the junkyard. Now to give something back: I don't know if everyone knows this, but the rubber inserts for mounting the roof rack and the plastic, waterproof clips for mounting the strips are readily available: Rubber Inserts - These are known as "Wellnuts", and the size is "1/4 S". Ten are needed for a Gremlin, and the part number is 347102. Call Pop (as in the rivets) Fasteners in Kentucky at (270) 886-3951. Plastic Clips - Don't even ask for an AMC part here - this item is now listed for BMWs, and it's part #2309 (5113-1804-205) from a company called WE. I found them through the Car Quest auto parts store near me, and the box of 25 lists them as "side molding clip with rubber sealer - BMW" Hope this info helps others.
