Wanted :

Roor rack for a facelift saloon , any condition as long as all the bits are there . Can arrange courier if need be .

 

[Steve B]

Al had one up for grabs not so long back 

[05omegav6]

I did indeed, and sold to a very nice man in Brissol

[EMD]

There does not seem to be an awful lot of roof racks available for the saloon , most seem to be for the roof rail/estate attachment    Wonder if a universal one would suit

Get the genuine one if you can, mine fitted beautifully 

[TheBoy]

Indeed. My last one was £20 or £30 from somebody here, not that I've used it yet .  The previous one I lost with the garage had plenty of use, and if you could tolerate the whistle, was fine at very high speeds, even with a roofbox mounted.

[EMD]

Only want it for occasional trips for transporting ladders  Anyone used those pad things that lay on the roof and strap inside the car ?

[Sir Tigger KC]

I've been using a set of universal Halfords budget roof bars on my FL saloon for years.  I think they cost something like £19.99, fix nice and solid, and havn't damaged the car.

It's this one, but gone up in price somewhat!     Still I've been using mine for 6 or 7 years so I reckon it qualifies for a recommendation!

Like that noise when you go along at 50mph with both rear windows down

I guess it depends on the definition of very high speed, but it was noisier than rear windows open...

[biggriffin]

Put two pillows on roof, put ladder on pillows, put rope over laxders thro the doors, close doors, nice tight rope drive off. , or use cheap load straps..

You wouldn't be the first to tell me to get a grip.                                             and I doubt you'll be the last!
