My 98 P38 came with original LR roof rails and bars, but no paperwork. Tried a search but nowt specific to fitting.

Does anyone have fitting destructions they might copy/e-mail or post up here?

They've had lil use, but equally lil tatty, so I'll spray them up and laquer before fitting.

Thinking I'd fit rails and leave them on - fitting bars as and when needed. I know bars produce drag, wind noise, lower economy.....presumably just side rails not so much?

Has no-one any thoughts....48 views, no response?

Just wondering those that have roof rails, any noticable wind noise, drop in economy, easy enuf to fit?

Great, gives all I need for fitting thank you :tea:
Guess I'll get them sprayed n laquered then just try it; hopefully there won't be too much wind drag/noise/loss of economy!
