Thanks! I used 3/4" plastic furniture end caps. They are located in the odds and ends hardware drawers in Lowes. I think I may have snapped a photo...if so I'll post it.

My rack is about to come in the mail. Can you take some better pictures of how you bolted it to the hardtop. You had to drill new holes to secure it to the hardtop? Thanks for the post yours looks really good.

I initially wanted to use the existing holes for the hardtop attachment but their location prevents a straight bar on the holes nearest the back seat. In order to keep the rack design simpler I just drilled 4 new holes in the hardtop and tub rail. Just be mindfull of the wire loom under each lip of the tub on each side. The rack support rails are attached by a thumscrew knobs and flange bolts. If running a soft top just unscrew the 4 thumbscrews knobs and the rack is removed entirely. If running a hardtop use the 4 thumbscrew knobs to attach the support rails separately then screw the rack to the support rails. Just one extra step to put it in for hardtop.

I just order the same cargo rack but I'm hoping I can figure out a way to attach this without drilling any new holes. Maybe another bar that runs along the hardtop rail? I'll post up any successes I have.
