Roof Rack for Westy Pop Top

Post by davejl »

Hi

I've just brought, from Gunzel, a set of the brackets to allow me to fit a roof rack to my Westy Pop Top, however there are no instuctions on the best place to fit them on the roof. Advice or photos showing where to fit would be appreciated.

Thanks

work out what you want to carry up there. if its a surf board and you only need bars then it doesn`t really matter but if you want a roof box or roof crate then it`ll depend on the size of equipment you have / buy.

Hi Dave,

Just about to fit mine. I have a roof box but got my positioning ideas from this old thread of Jed's:

http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/my-ne ... page7.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Scroll down about 3/4 of the way & you can see his set up.
