What a bugger of a job..
« on: 29 December 2006, 22:25:17 »
.. to fit roof rails

My Roof rails arrived this morning and I looked to see how much I need to take off. Basically the whole roof lining to get to the nuts to get the roof rails in.

Still I suppose it will be worth it when they are on and I can put my kayak/surfboards outside the car.

Didn't think it through when I fitted leather cos now I don't want dirty stuff inside.

Just cut small holes in the roof lining and it will look proper ex-plod then :P

No, Just roof rails. I don't want some great big box on the top causing extra drag
