I know that the OEM bars are Thule made and that's about it. I can go to their website and drop $450 on what I'm sure is a great product, but I don't see that in my future...
As an aside, I do remember you posting a reply in a probably ancient forum post about how you made a set of cross bars for your Volvo with some lumber pieces? I could be completely wrong but if that was you, do you mind sharing some wisdom there? It sounds like something I could absolutely do.
You seem to be looking for the cross roof bars that clamp under the drip rail ?

I have a pair off an S60, now we're back to part numbers and such. I'll try to dig a path out to the shop and see if I can find any numbers on mine.
