Good morning! It's good to be among others to whom I don't have to explain how someone can love a V40 as much as I do. At home at last!
After partially dismantling my enormous bicycle this past weekend and cramming it in the back of the V40 (along with my wife's bike, my daughter's bike and my daughter herself), I realised that I need some sort of external bicycle carrying solution. I'm averse to a rear mounted one because of its impedance to boot access, and I don't want to install a tow bar. Unless I'm missing anything, that leaves me with a roof mounted system. Unfortunately, I don't have roof rails.
I'd like to know if anyone has found bars which mount across the roof without having to install roof bars or clamp around the edge of the roof. Could you recommend a name brand, an old OEM part number, or even sell me yours
? I think once I get the bars sorted I can find my own bike mounting system, unless someone feels passionately that I should get the kind they have.
Thanks!
