I'm not sure about the part number, I've been searching for a while now. 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.
Abscate has a fleet of wagons, you seem to have a sedan. That rig will only work with the stock fore-and-aft rails, and fabricating the athwartship crossmembers.

You seem to be looking for the cross roof bars that clamp under the drip rail ?
Ah, yes, I completely overlooked that I would need factory rails :? .... but yes, I am looking for the cross roof bars which clamp down under the rail on the roof and into the screw holes inside the door frame. Ill take a look at those craigslist links you sent me. Thank you so much.

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.
