School me on roof rail cross bars

Post by dyn blin »

I have a 97 850 GLT wagon with the kinda triangular roof rails.

Is there anything I should be aware of when looking for cross bars?

What will fit- OEM, cheap EBay offerrings?

I would deeply appreciate a lesson & recomendations.

You may stay by Volvo. Check Ebay, sure you will find what you're looking for. Don't forget, if so, to test all lock keys.
