I've downloaded several vehicles I like. I noticed in the description, it shows the vehicles with pushbars. Do I have to go into the garage and add them every single time I start the game?

No, if you have a trainer you can go into the vehicle components menu and add it yourself.  To force the vehicle to spawn with an extra, go into the vehicles.meta for the car and find this line:

 

<requiredExtras / >

 

You're going to want to change this, and here's how you'd do it:

 

<requiredExtras>EXTRA_1</requiredExtras>

 

Change the "1" to whatever your push bar is.

Just so that I am clear...  the meta file is the VCF file?

No.  The meta is vehicles.meta.  It's located (in OpenIV) mods-->update-->update-->common-->data-->levels-->gta 5.

Gosh, this is very difficult. I have added the line in the file and the pushbars are still not showing up. I'm using this pack but only the crown vic from that pack. He said he included 'in depth' instructions but I don't see anything that is very in depth.

I could be wrong, but I think the push bars on those models were built onto the model itself.  If it doesn't have a push bar, it wasn't built with one.  Check your trainer and verify if it has one.

No, the models were built with pushbars. But what I am discovering is that the issue only exists with the 'police' and 'police2' files. When I rename the file to "sheriff", using the exact same model which has pushbars, the issue doesn't occur. The pushbars are present while in the game. But after renaming it to either 'police' or 'police2' and spawning it in the game, suddenly there are no pushbars. Not sure what the heck is happening. The vehicle has no other problems: lights work, handling is spot on. 

 

Here's the vehicle I'm using:

Could be the vehicle flags for the slot you're trying to use. Check the vehicle flags for police and police 2, compare it with the sheriff slot. Whatever the sheriff slot has or doesn't, fix in the problem slots.

Flags?  What are flags?

This vehicle came with no meta files. It only came with the models and the ELS files.

Flags in the vehicles.meta.  By default, the meta lines for the vehicles are not the same.  Check the vehicles.meta.

The Blaine County Sheriff Pack did not come with a 'vehicles.meta' file.

You already have one.  Open OpenIV, go to mods-->update-->update-->common-->data-->levels-->gta 5.

 

Extract vehicles.meta to your desktop.  Now find the meta line for the car you want, such as police2.  In this line, you will find

 

<requiredExtras />

 

Change that to this:

 

<requiredExtras>EXTRA_1</requiredExtras>

 

Change EXTRA_1 to whatever extra the push bar is, for example lets say extra 10 is the pushbar.

 

EXTRA_10

 

Do this for all the models you want to spawn with the pushbar, then save the edited vehicles.meta.  Now click "edit mode" in OpenIV and drag and drop the edited vehicles.meta on your desktop to the exact same place you got it from.  Click "edit mode" again and you're done.

Do I search the same meta.vehicle file to find out what the pushbars are referred to as?   I assume it won't always be 'extra_10'.

No, you need to go in game and use your trainer to find out which extra is the push bar.  In your trainer-->vehicle options-->vehicle components.  Now search through until you find it.

All is well. Fixed the problem with trying to keep the pushbars on the vehicle; plus was also able to fix the problem with the black lightbars too. 

Gosh, that took too many weekends. Ugh. But I appreciate your help.
