i believe the ridge on the saloon is only for water/rain draining, not for fixing a roof rail

I have a set of original and genuine Vauxhall ones.  Buried in the depths of the garage at the moment, so unable to supply any part number!!   :y

It was a couple of years ago, but I recall either 45 or 55 quid, just for the bars etc.. not for the box :y

The genuine VX ones which I have, sit in the gutter on the saloon, if you open the doors and look up you'll see a small arrow, this is the location for them....  THULE are the best to buy... The VX ones use the same square bar as THULE, pretty sure they're made under contract...  NOT selling mine either ;D ;D ;D
