V40 Roof Rail Armed Robbery

Oct 8th, 2002, 10:41

I've been hunting the web for a good deal on roof rails for the missus's V40 (yes, we're a two Volvo family, how sad). Anyway, the Volvo dealership want to charge around £350 for parts and fitting and I've seen US V40 roof rails on sale in the states for the equivalent of around £150 from a dealer. Does anybody know whether there's any difference between the length and anchor points for roof rails on the US V40 and the European V40 ?

Regards,

John

I recall somebody was advertising these a few months back in the club magazine - from memory they had a load of them.

Might be worth digging the back issues out and having a thumb through.
