Ultimate Roof Rack?

When you drill through the vehicle's structure, you have some feeling for how strong the attachments will be. See answer to number 1) above. Your approach leaves us with makers who don't really need to consider this part of the market as one that should be serviced. They build whatever _they_ want and you modify it with whatever you can find. I want them to make the vehicle _I_ want and provide a simple, reliable and standard facilities that adapt to a large number of outdoor enthusiasts. Many cars now have standard attachment points for child seats - I want standard attachment points for grownup toys. Mike |
