Should there be some sort of cover over the apparent rain channels running the length of the roof on both side of the car (s60). There appears to be Fixings in the channels for roof bars which are exposed to the elements! Hope this makes sense.

Thanked 870 Times in 621 PostsThere should be a cap that runs the length of the roof, and there are small fixings that clip into the channel which the cap clips into.

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

Thanked 3 Times in 2 PostsSo if I'm reading this right, most of us have exposed channels. Does seem a bit daft to have the roof bar clips uncovered though.

Thanked 2,408 Times in 1,497 PostsMines the same - no trim. Perhaps the lack of trim enables this channel to act as a gutter so you don't get a shower each time you open the door during rain.
