Title: oh bugger !!
Post by: sir moanalot on 03 March 2007, 07:41:27

i didnt realise the facelift omega has no facility for a roof rack or roof bars! i was thinking of buying a kayak but now have to scupper the idea cos the only alternative is to get a tow bar fitted and buy a kayak trailer.
i see in the owners manual there is a "swing down towbar fitment" anyone know of these or anyone know of a cheap tow bar/fitter in e/e mids or norfolk/cambs/ s.lincs area. cheers tone.

I think they do, the manual for mine (and its not specific for an estate) mentions roof loads several times  :y

You can actually get Thule roofbars that will fit on the meega, I have a set for the roof box :y
