As my wife is disabled we need to carry roof loads on long journeys/holidays and I cannot see roof rails affecting real life performance. The only solution seems to be a retrograde 60's type solution where the grips clamp onto the paintwork and distort the door seals as well as offering restricted anchor positions to those offered by rails. Any experience of roof rails on polestars or these ancient design clamps. The absence of rails seems to restrict much of the potential of the Polestar as an everyday car for skiing sail boarding etc.
I can safely say I am not aware of anyone that fitted roof rails on a polestar.
You Volvo roof rack sits in the gutter and clamps around the roof. I have one and can supply you some pictures if you want to email me (see signature).
Thule also does a rack which sits in the gutter.
If the roof rails are a MUST, then you should be able to fit them as an accessory.
If you need any help/tips when buying, drop me an email and I can give you pointers.
