Roof rail types: which models and years?
Hi all,
On 1998 and 1999 V70s I have two styles of roof rail. Slim and fat. Are they both original to V70 (which years) or is one of them from a 850? Do the slim and fat styles both fit all 1998-1999 V70s? ie I can swap them between cars? Thanks Steve

Both original to V70. 99-00 models got the fat ones, 97-98 got the slim ones. Yes, they all fit the same between any year 850/V70.

Roof Rails
My July 1998 V70 has the fat ones.
Don't know if they were retro-fitted or original as they were on there when I bought it eight years ago. Would the VIN show what was original? Not that it matters as I have no intention of removing them, but it is good to know that there are two versions that are interchangeable. (Somewhere in the back of the garage I have a pair rescued from a 740 about ten years ago and never fitted. Must do something with them at some time!).

You can read about the roof bars in the V70 Wikipedia.
