Roof Rack on Turbo

raged · Oct 30, 2019

As you all proly know sometimes Turbo boost isn't exciting enough.

I'm looking for a roof rack alternative to carry my surfboard to the ocean in style.

My wagon doesn't have Eurorails, and they seem impossible to find.

As you can see Thule has nothing on their line up for such exclusive vehicles.

Are there any other rack alternatives that will compliment my wagon's European look?

Volvo made roof racks for V70s that didn't have the rails, they look similar to S70 roof racks, but they are supposedly different and have different part numbers.

Thule also sold old-school feet and fit kits for a normal roof 1998-2000 V70. They do exist, as seen here:

P80 rear doors were the same for sedans and wagons, and the door frame mounted crossbars were the same for either.
P2 rear doors and roof lines were different between S60 and V70. and the crossbars which mounted in the rain gutters were different. (The angle of the rear mounts only)

The roof width differs between the 2 cars and the bars themselves are of different length, if I recall correctly. They sort of interchange but the covers won't fully close due to the V70 rack feet being forced at a different angle.

Here's a previous discussion about it:

It has also been covered numerous times over the years on the Volvospeed facebook group.

I have a set of Euro rails off of a 2000 V70R for sale. I am willing to ship. PM me if you're interested.

Thank you everyone who replied. I found a local guy who specializes in racks of all types.
