Original Roof racks or close

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Andrea Purdy, Nov 2, 2019.

  1. Which ones are the originals - the stainless steel types ? Found some that are very bowed and others that sit closer to the roof. I am a bit of a rookie at these having had a Moonraker for many a year with no space for a rack

    Any suggestions as to which one ?

    Have a bit of a Google, set to images before selecting various ones to see what the descriptions are like?
    Should start to get an idea from that I'd say.

  3. Depends which type you like the look of. Stainless rack will probably last longer as theres no wood to rot.

    The westfalia style curved racks with the wooden slats like these have been options since the 60s.

    Metal tubular ones were options at the same time too.

  5. I like the look of that but it looks like stuff would slide off easily if its not tied down really tight.
     
  6. I haven't had that problem, but then I always overload it
