Roof Racks? V70/V70R

Post by WesleyW »

I need a set of roof racks for a V70 or V70R. The bodies are pretty much the same so ones off of a V70 should work. Any help in finding these is appreciated.

This is for a car without rails? Any roof rack for 850, S/V70 up to and including 2000 will work.

With rails already on the car, try Tule.

Junk yard, ebay, amazon, your local dealer. I like junk yard since you can see how they attach and come off.

Will the ones off a xc70 work. In the classified section, looks like rail on the xc70. Guy is in GA.

Those will work perfectly on any 850 or 98-00 V70. The XC rails are actually preferred, they are beefier.

You might want to also get the windshield side trim with rain diverters from the XC. They are already cut to the proper length. Or just cut the ones on your car but then you won't have the full length if you later decide to get rid of the rails.

As was said, they're all the same from the 850s to M/Y

Will work but shipping could prove to be a bitch because of size

I am pretty sure obayha is semi-local to the for sale ad, hence his interest.
