Need a luggage rack. Which one?
I have a 90 rag top and I want to put a luggage rack on it. I want one like the originals. My question is
1. Is the reproductions as good as the originals?
2. Whick ones are better?
3. Who has them?
4. Should I consider any others?
Thanks

The one in Ecklers is a GM part. They buy them from GM and are just reselling it thru the catalog. The GM ones are black powder coated aluminum with black plastic ends and rubber inserts where the load is placed. The rack you buy from Ecklers also has a template in it that marks exactly where to drill the 14 (if I remember right) 3/8" holes in the rear deck lid that the rack mounts to.

But i put one on my 88 and love it! Both functionally and visually
I got it from Ecklers, and it is OEM complete with templates for drilling holes
very simple
Very pleased

If you were to sell the car and the buyer was concerned about originality this rack {ecklers} would pass muster.
Once you drill holes in the rear deck there is know going back. If the rack isn't right, you are stuck!
I use my rack quite a bit for stuff i can't get in the back with the top down
