Quick Release Roof Rack

Post by wackos00 »

Hi all,

I want to put a roof rack on my pop top now i could just bolt through the fiberglass with some plates to spread the load but i dont always want the rails up there, is there any sort of quick relese or, slow ish but not as slow as unbolting bolts and having a load of holes in my roof, rack you can get? anyone?

Cheers,
Jack

Gunzl does some brackets that bolt to the sides of a Westy pop-top that extend into the gutter rails to spread the load that way, you then attach standard Thule type clamp on roof rails to the brackets when you need `em, and take the rails off again leaving the brackets when you don`t.
Keep it real.
