Can i purchase roof trim?

Post by beachrights »

I put my Thule roof rack on my 1999 V70 which means
taking off the factory rails- now i have an ugly "gutter" and the yellow clips that attach to the rails staring at me.

I checked Fleabay but no luck purchasing the trim. Can they be purchased aftermarket?

Junkyard item. Grab extra clips they break.

Keep a cut set for when the crossbars are on, an intact set for other times. Or cut small pieces to move in and out etc.

Roll of duct tape, if you write ‘V’s down the length of tape with an R at the back it will look faster too.

I thought that trim went NLA a few years ago
