Title: Bike rack
Post by amigafan2003 on Jul 18^th, 2014, 9:57am

Anyone using a bike rack on thier Scorpio Saloon? Any reconmendations?

I'm looking at either a roof rack mounted one (I'd need the bars as well - looking for reconmendations on these as well) or a boot mounted one - I haven't got a tow bar fitted (but could consider one if it had a removable ball).

I used to carry one on the roof of my Estate. The bars were Halfords but I can't recall the make of the cycle carrier. However I've just looked at Halfords and it seems they stock what you want. ;)

I've now ruled out roof rack bars as saloons don't have the roof rack rails like the estate - you can get ones that clamp in the door openings for a saloon but they always mark the paint I've heard so that's a no go.

Been using Ford roof bars and rack for the Scorp for about 15 years and no marks except in the gutter where the feet rest- and that is only superficial.

Ditto but shouldn't get any scratching if you manage not to lose the little rubber shields on the feet
