Hi ya all! Was just wondering if anyone has come across or seen any roof racks that can fit on a fibreglass devon poptop,ive seen lovely roofracks on tin tops but not a fibreglass roof.I just wondering if anyone had seen them or know where i could get one? Many thanks guys and gals :)

Been searching for exactly the same thing for ours, found some pictures of poptops with them fitted but think I'll have to get one fabricated, unless anyone on here knows any different :ok

Should'nt be a problem with the gas struts if roof rack is empty when roof popped up.....my old girl has new struts so should be ok if only i found where to get one from :)

this is not the cheapest set up , but this is what i used .
1. thule artificial gutter mounts .
2. thule roof feet.
3. 150 cm long roof bars .
4. renew all four gas struts .
what you put on your roof rack is up to you !!!!

ive got a set of thule roof feet for sale . ring me for futher help .
