Have a look at Thule's fit guide http://www.thule.co.uk/appguide/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; You might even find some other models that take the same bars. Xantias use the same roofbars as the Vectra B and Saab 9000/GM900 for example.

Thanks for that, good idea.
On the site it lists two types, one for use with t-tracks. What are these t-tracks?

I think T-Tracks are the flush "gutter rails" that the Xantia Estate has. IIRC there's a flap you slide along to reveal a mounting point.

Thanks for that. It appears that mine does not have T tracks. (Just to confirm this, does anyone have a picture of the t-track to compare it to or a link of a piccy of it. I've searched all over but cant find anything. Doesnt really help that i'm not sure what im looking for though :shock:
).
Any idea where i can get them form and roughly how much they cost?

Also, do the standard roof bars, the rather nice looking ones, need these t tracks?

i dont have a photo but the :teabag: track is a flush chanel down the length of both sides of the roof, with an upside down :teabag: shaped slot the length of the flush chanell,

at each end of both of the chanels there is a flap which hinges upwards to alow the roof bar feet ( :teabag: shaped ) to be located into the T slots,
