Roof bar torque wrench
Good evening, I am looking for the genuine Volvo torque wrench for the genuine roof bars on my 2015 xc60.
Thank you

Aren’t Volvo roof bars supplied by Thule, so isn’t it the same torque wrench as supplied by Thule
If so, plenty on eBay for around a tenner Al

As a kayaker I've fitted roof bars to every car I've owned. In forty years I've never used a torque wrench.
I think you're overthinking it. |

Not completely true. Thule found that by over tightening the fitting it was distorting and in some cases coming off the roof rails. It’s why all their new roof bar fitting kits come with a torque driver.
