I’m in a shame spiral. So mad at myself. I went to install my Bison side baskets today and I ordered 2 right-side baskets! Ughhhh! I looked at them for weeks and every time I thought to myself “make sure you pay attention to ordering each side”.

Too bad I’m not Dual Grenny Guy lol. Or maybe I need to buy another Grenadier as an accessory for my extra basket.

So if anyone was a dufus like me and ordered 2 lefts, I’m game for a swap! Otherwise I can sell the extra right side at a discount if anyone is interested.

I’m interested! I’m a dual grennie too. Ha ha

Do you still have the extra right side basket? I sent you a PM.

Just installed my right hand side. I've the inverter on the left and got this rather woolly response when asking Bison about whether we could expect a revised basket, "At the moment, we have not received any updates from our design department regarding this matter."

I also got the roof basket but would rather avoid cutting holes in the plastic covers. I'm going to ask my dealer for the utility truck covers, which don't require cutting. Has anyone bought them before? Should I expect a nose-bleed?

I measured and drilled holes where the bolts needed to go. Of course I measured once and drilled twice, but the hole(s) is (are) still not visible once the covers are installed. Just something to think about. I also understand not wanting to damage them in case you decide to take the shelf down at some point in the future.

I fitted the rack and did drill my plastic covers. I got some felt sticky backed round pads to the size of the hole and stuck them over the treaded holes. I then used wife's lipstick (shhh), and liberally coated the pads. Reattached the plastic covers, pushing down hard over where the pads should be. Removed covers, drilling small centre hole then hole to exact size of the supplied screws. When I attached the plastic covers they were perfectly lined up. I felt this method was better than me measuring and I wouldn't trust a mechanic at the garage to be too exact.

The part numbers for replacement headliner hole covers are as follows. I drilled mine and ordered spares so if I remove the basket the spares without holes can be installed.

GRA-7E12-008280 Partition Hole Cover Qty 2
GRA-7E11-040192 Slotted Cover RH Qty 1
GRA-7E11-040181 Slotted Cover LH Qty 1

Do you find your Bison Gear shelf creaking when you go over rough terrain? I did so I fashioned some teflon washers that are a little bit wider than the spacers and placed them between the spacers and the metal surface the rack brackets screw onto. No more creaking.

No creaks here. The washer tip is smart. I'll remember that if/when needed, @grnamin .

I did drill and remount the covers but I don't think that would make a difference either way.
