Roof Rack Suggestions for R36

FWIW I priced the WV ones yesterday and they are over $400 so the Prorack onesd are a good alternative... Going to chase them up for myself

Typical,

I went round to BCF at lunchtime to check out the Prorack S53. Turns out it's the only one that they don't have in stock in Perth!

They could order it for me but it will take a few weeks!

That's WA for you!

i must admit i got the VW ones when i got my car and they look kick ass. They where a lot less than 400 bucks from memory and inline for an after market price so i got the real deal ones.

I don't suppose you have any pics bennobee?

My only concern is that for sedans the roof rack clips over the door openings and is hard pressed against the door seal / rubber. Does this effect the wind noise and maybe get worse over time? And what about when they are removed, does it leave indentations from where they were located.
Now, for the feet on the roof, on a sedna would you put a clear 3M type tape to stop scratches on the roof.

Open to thoughts, experiences and suggestions!

Sorry for the dealy i shall take some photos with the ol' iphone to show you all (sepcially as the car is clean again after the last big drive day)

Okay here are the pics

Should give you the idea. They are secured under the black covers on each side (they slide up and out) and there is a special security bolt that you need to get them off.
