torx size on 850 roof rails?

Post by panamared »

I'm headed to the parts yard today in hopes of salvaging roof rails for my 1994 850 wagon. Does anyone know the size of the torx screws that are on there?
Thanks!

Wait, the T25 was for the sunroof to lifting rails. Sorry, just re-read your question. Take a torx strip with 7 or 8 on there just in case.

Believe when we did my buddys, it was a T20. But bring a 20 and a 25 and you should be set for half the car :lol:

Ha! I'll do that. Do you know if the V70 is the only other model with compatible rails? The yard I'm going to has a bunch of 700's and 900's, only two 850s.
