Load Carrier Differences (facelift - prefacelift)
« on: 15 February 2009, 22:02:46 »
Just wondering, are load carriers on a facelift wider than a pre-facelift??

Got one for the estate, but the damned thing is too wide... :-/

Cheers  ::)

No worries Chris  :y

No, the estate is a pre-facelift (99 V), but the rods are too long for it... hence the random confusion!

The retaining flaps come upwards and remove, the button is in the runners on the flap bit
