P80 V70 XC roof rack cross bar question?

[scot850]

I have 2 sets of these that barely look like they have ever been used in anger. I got them from a 99 and 00 V70 XC's with factory roof rails. These are the non-adjustable version that are clamped in place by a T30? security Torx screw (the one with the hole in the center that goes over a pin in the screw). I hate to see parts like these go to the crusher so felt they had to be saved!

I have no need for them but does anyone else need them? Otherwise I will take them back to PnP. I will give them a clean and post them in the for sale section for a week if there is any interest and it will be on a first come basis. These are now NLA from Volvo. Don't need much for them, maybe $40 US a pair? That covers my cost of gas to the junkyard and the cost of the rails. Shipping I will need to work out a cost. Parts are as per the link below:

The Volvo install tool is NLA as well, but a regular Torx security bit works with it as stated above.

These fit any P80 wagon, XC (thicker) rails or regular (skinny) rails.

Thanks Erik. Always appreciate your help! You confirmed what my poor memory had doubts on that there were 2 rail types. Heck, I've just remembered I think I still have all the gubbins including new screws and seal strips as well as a set of roof rails. I bought them for the 'R' but just like the crossbars I have for non-roof railed P80's I have never used them in over 10 years. We used have large SUV that was used for larger moves with a tow hitch for a trailer if needed.

Maybe time to get rid of it all!!
