Hi Steve,

I have the same van as you. It came with a customised roof rack to carry surf boards . The roof has 2 metal plates fixed onto each side and then two adjustable Thule bars to fit across. i've never tried to use them.
If you think they would be any good let me know but would need to be collected (Edinburgh!)
