Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't end up going with these ones cause of the possible risk to the seals around the doors, but I suppose they wouldn't be that bad.I'll attach a photo of what they should look like! Hope you have more success than I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pays to spend the extra at a roof rack specialist as they sort out the little things. Nth side of Sydney highly recommend roof rack world in Artarmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
