My V70 has no roof rails and I would like to add some. I've read that I just need to remove the trim to access the anchor points but which years and models roof rails would match up? A local craig's list ad has a 2000 V70XC listed for parts and want to make an offer on the rails only. I just want to be sure the 2000 XC rails match the 98 V70 anchor points.
Edit: What other parts would fit between the two cars? He has it listed for $250 and I have a lot of interior issues like the tailgate falling on my head, rear door lock malfunctioning, Glove compartment door falling off, drink holder has a crack in it, Front passenger door handle doesn't open the door from the inside, I may possibly need to replace the hoses for the oil cooler as I now have a leak, and my rear parking brake doesn't work. I'm thinking $250 would be worth it to fix everything then scrap whats left over.
98 V70 What year Roof Rails fit the 98 V70?

The roof rails are all the same and so is most of the other stuff. The things that won't cross over are the instrument cluster and many of the engine sensors.

The 1999 and 2000 roof rails are a much thicker rail (almost as thick as our 2002 XC)
Mounting points are the same

All 94-00 roof rails will fit your 98.
I also prefer the thicker ones that came on all XC's and on 99-00 models.
