Hi All,
I'm looking to fit roof bars to my van to take surfboards. Has anyone done this on a leisuredrive full length fibreglass pop-top? I am concerned about the force of the wind while driving causing damage to the fibreglass. Any comments?
Thanks.

Am thinking of putting roof rails on my doka canopy. Anyone come across suitable set of donor rails - got to be straight (no curves) and around 5 foot long.
