Thanks John. So the conclusion seems to be that it really should fit, but I need to try a bit harder. I'll have another go but cover the roof with a sheet as even with the rubber feet I'm anxious of scratching the car... I pranged a wing at the weekend, last thing I need is a scratched roof too!

2. If it is a similar rack to the one that I had, then no, it will not be adjustable for width. I suppose that one could always cut it and insert extension pieces, but that seems a bit drastic and I don't know of anyone who has successfully done this
3. It is possible I suppose, but I think it unlikely unless someone was attempting to use it on a car for which it was not intended.

Regards, John.
