2005 v70r roof rails

[Craigtange]

roof rails or no roof rails, what are peoples thoughts on this. i assume if you remove them you need to get a new cover strip where the gaps were cut out for the rails?

cheers.

[Craigtange]

no one has any thought on this?

I love my V70 with the roof rails.

Yes, if you remove them you'll need a new cover strip and maybe some clips.

Looks like 1 to 2 to me



Any ideas the cost ?.

I bought some parts last week. Need to repaint the strip (I have roof rails on my V70).
Got these prices from a Volvo dealer on Ebay UK:

No.24 Clip 8622906 £67.68 (set of 24)
No.18 Clip 9190981 £5.64 (set of 2)

No.25 Rubber gasket LH 8663894 £7.94
No.25 Rubber gasket RH 8663896 £7.92
No.26 Plug 685851 £6.36 (set of 2)
No.29 Clip is supplied with rubber gaskets

Rails all the way! Very useful when washing the car, gives you something to hold onto and rub the panels better with the other hand!
The trim supplied from Volvo is massively expensive thou. Last time i checked it was getting on for £300 all in. Clips are cheap.

Yeah, I'd stick with rails too, if you ever roll it, you won't scratch the roof.

Rails vote for me too....looks naked without them I reckon lol

[Craigtange]

ok, thanks folks. i will kepp the rails. especially in regards to just the cost of it, i also like the thought of not scratching the roof if i roll it.......ha ha ha.
