Roof Racks

[Speckled wood]

I want to buy a roof rack for my Maestro, Any suggestions as to the best? I will be carrying a couple of 4x6 fence panels and perhaps a kitchen worktop.

Cheers

I looked into this about 5 years ago because I wanted to carry a bike on the roof of my Maestro.

The most cost-effective solution were Halfords Roof bars but since the Paddy Hopkirk ones were only about £10 more and looked a lot better, I went for those.

This (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Paddy-Hopkirk-401U-roof-bars-K01-fitting-kit-Rack_W0QQitemZ270090467126QQihZ017QQcategoryZ33651 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) looks exactly like the set-up that I bought but do contact the seller to see if the fitting kit is suitable for the Maestro.

Hope that helps!

Why not just put the seats down and put the stuff in the back?

I remembered an advert on this forum from a bloke in Essex wanting to give away a set of Maestro Thule roof bars.

These may still be available...
