Title: Saloon Roof Rack...Genuine Ford
Post by Baz on May 7^th, 2005, 5:31pm

Hi all,

I have decided I want to stick a roof box on the car when we go to the South of France next month. Does anyone have a genuine set of Ford roof bars for a saloon they want to sell?

I can collect or will pay for postage obviously

Thanks

Baz

Thanks for that Craig, but I would really like a genuine set as the aftermarket ones are like a lego kit with all sorts of bits like feet and locking kits which are just dying to be lost!!

hi there

does it matter? it's only for the wife! sorry karen ;D

no, the roof bars can handle the 75kg. i think most boxes can take 50kg (maybe a little more).

Ren,

Ford used to do roofboxes called "combi boxes" according to the 1996 accessories catalogue I have. Not sure about now though. Although looking at the pictures, they were just Thule boxes without the logos!

Got my rack from Trevor at Ford Parts....fits a treat although I saw no need to cut out the rubber bit on the door seal as the fixing bolt merely pushes it out slightly

Definately better and a lot cheaper than a thule system which appears to be made up of dozens of different bits each costing £20 or more!!

Managed to get a Thule Evo 100 box. 350 litre capacity and at half price £169.00 from Halfords.

Bargain!!

Baz,

How much did the roof bars set you back? Been thinking about a roof box for sometime now-this camping mallarky is getting beyond a joke! The OH thinks she can take her whole wardrobe and half her shoe collection (well over 50 pairs to date!!!!) as she "Likes to have a good selection and look good for me".

Women!!! >:(
