Default Roof rack on v70

Can anyone advise on a roof rack for a1997 v70. I have no roof bars so need the type which hugs the roof and insides under he top of the doors?

Look for a second hand set of the genuine Volvo ones. Should cost you around £40-60. Minty might have a set, or you can try the usual suspects like Lake Autos.

I believe I'm right in saying that Lakes is now closed down. I think they've sold the land for re-development, and the guys there have retired. I might be wrong, but last time I was up there they told me something along those lines. Sad loss, it was a really useful place and nice helpful guys.

No, they were there on Saturday when I called in for a glovebox lock.
They are gradually clearing the rear yard but still lots of cars there.

Ah! OK, so they're still there, but I think their days are numbered. Thanks for the update!
