Esky rack concern -- center section bolts? Help!
Hey all,
I recently picked up the Escalade roof rack PACKAGE (now sold by GM). It includes the side rails and caps. (Cross rails are extra/separate.) I haven't started the install, but just looking casually in the boxes, it appears that there isn't any hardware to bolt down the center portion of the side rails. If you look at this diagram,

I'm talking about items 3, 4, and 5. (And not that I look at it, it appears that 3 and 4 are needed up front, too.)
Does anyone know if they ELIMINATED these pieces in '09? I used a buddy's '09 Caddy VIN to track down the kits at my local Chevy dealership -- I just don't know if I got everything I need.
Again, I need to get into the box completely and see what all is included. But in the event that these items aren't included, I was wondering if they are truly NEEDED or not.
Thanks!

PS -- This rack is going on an '09 Tahoe.

Yes, I do. I'm pretty sure that the bolts are reused, but I seem to remember reading something about the center rail section and possibly needing a "plate." Then again, maybe I don't with the '09 rack. Just don't know...
