roof rails

[bassbass]

Hoops, I forgot the roof rails in the option list...
How can I do now to add cross bars?

The 320 cdi is a great engine.I'll take off the catalitic systeme because it causes to much problemes with the diesel quality in my country.
H/K sound is better than bose.
The interior of sport package is just perfect to me.
Blue light tinted glass look subtil. I like the wheels too.
But I'm gonna change my 255/50R19 Diamaris for 255/55R19 Synchrone (both Michelin) for better all terrain responce.
Pneumatique damping is the thing I wont go without now.
Off road pack is really good but noisy when electronic is in use on loosy surface or river stones.

You should be able to retrofit the rails. See your dealer for part numbers.

Well, maybe I was wrong. Red this post from Birger:

I thought, though, a tech had confirmed in a post that the reinforcing was in place.

Thank you greg,

The dealer said:"It should be possible"

But -He wants to keep my car one WEEK.
40.00US$ by hour of job...
-The price of the rails alones 1500.00US$...
So if someone have an other idea?
May be inflatable cross bar.
Or quick removable cross bar with a strap/belt going around the roof: inside and on thetop of the car?

Have a good day

That's a bargain! Labor runs $90 - $100/hour here at the dealers! :-)

But u have to think about the hefty price of the rails first.
