Strange lugs on the roof
I have just acquired a 1992 JDM car with two strange lugs on the roof. They are about one inch wide by 3/4 of an inch tall and emerge from the groove in the roof just behind the rear door pillar. It looks like they are attached to a small tube within the groove with a pin going into the tube from bothe the front and back of the lug. The lugs are going rusty and are a bit of an eyesore so I want to remove them. I have no idea what they are. My only guess is that were there to clamp something onto like a roof rack (but there are only two of them) or a set of police lights going across the roof. Any ideas? Any suggestions about removing them - my initial thoughts are just to separate the front and back hoping to pull the pins out of the tube.
