I have a mark one Galaxy.

 

I would like to know for a peace of mind thing, how are the roof rails, that run fore and aft on the either side, fixed / bolted to the Galaxy roof.

 

The plan is to carry a few long scaffold poles, by firstly clamping two scaffold poles across the roof rails as roof bars.

 

Then the long scaffold poles can then be secured to the Scaf. roof bars using standard scaffold clips.

 

Secondly what is the weight limit on the roof rails.

 

I am aware of being careful about being top heavy, but I only plan to be doing local journeys.

 

Thanks guys for your help.

IIRC about 70Kg is the limit for distributed load on the roofbars

Hi clockie..the roof rails are bolted through at all three contact points. there are load spreader sections at each point. Just stick to the weight limits in the drivers handbook..mine quotes 75Kilo evenly spaced. Hope this helps Cheers.
