Will old v40 roof bars fit
Will the older v40 roof rack bars fit the s40?
as far as im aware the older v40s did not come with the roof rails fitted so the standard roof rack type bars had to be fitted and attached to the body. can anyone help? |

They will do in spite of being about 15mm narrower. The front bar is the the right size. However, you'll need to extend the slots on the rear bar (where the bolts fit) outwards - a round file will do this. Do a little bit, on each side, at a time until you've removed the right amount of metal.
I don't think you can modify S40 bars to fit a V40...
