Just wondered if the roof rails can be removed or are they there for extra strength on the wagon?

 

Tidy wagon you got there.

I've seen a few wagons with the roof rails removed. Definately not there for extra strength, more to do with adding roof boxes or bike carriers etc. Personally I like my wagon with them.

Thanks.

She is a bit untidy inside. *** burn on passenger seat and ufortunately there is a small dent on the bonnet. but these are small jobs to put right.

you need more pics of yours. looks clean tho.

 

i would like to see some picks without the rails everytime i look at mine i think what she will look like without them.heard it can be a bit of a ball ache like.

 

It might worth a look through this thread.

The rails can be removed, i am sure a few of the members on here have done it.

 

you will need new gutter trims though, i plan on using the ones off my old saloon that i am breaking and cutting them down, i assume this is what everyone else does

 

there you go

 

Its gonna take a while to look through that thread.

Thanks guys. Maybe I should talk to a body shop so I dont make a complete pigs ear of it.

 

you just get them from a uk turbo wagon or a gl wagon, remove the bars and then replace the trim that runs along the body, its a 20 minute job.

 

i plan on using the trim from a saloon and cutting it to length, i assume that would be ok

 

Are they removed from inside the car?

 

on a classic no the fixings are under removeable covers, mine use security torx fittings, 2 per corner

 

Ta muchly
