Going to view a Bongo tomorrow, but its not a pop top so I wondered what roof rack or roof bars will fit it?

Got my roof bars from Halfords....just make sure the "feet" clear the roof. about £75 for the 2 pairs of feet and 2 x bars

Yeah! I got mine secondhand.
Believe it or not the guy I sat next to for 10 years had them sitting in his garage... they too came from a volvo...? spooky....

They do appear on ebay and such places .....

One thing to mention.... they do make a noise at speed and drag ya fuel consumption down, so only plan to have them on when you want them only......

good luck

Terry

I thought I might go down that route with our "skylift" roof. It doesn't have the AFT fittings ....
