Xantia 1.9TD Estate 1996 in-line roof bars?

I've been after a set for ages, never see any on ebay or in breaker yards

Figure I'll have to make something this weekend to fit these roof bar gutter things.

Anyone know if any different vehicle in-line bars fit?

Hi - you do know the cross bars just fit into the grooves already on your roof? There aren't any 'in line' bars as far as I know - they aren't needed.

Just something else Citroen did differently - and better!

Although the original crossbars do crop up on eBay, I believe Thule do the 'feet' needed to make their own crossbars fit the original channels.

Hope that helps?

uh, nope :p
FairNuff, I'll find some of them then

But would have been handy to just have the permanent in-line versions I can leave in, that don't cause as much wind noise :/

The factory ones are pretty quiet and easy to remove/refit, I have a set if you need some.

I think I recall seeing a genuine set on ebay, maybe two days ago, and for a relatively low price (maybe around 30 GBP, 1 bid, or 2 at most), I'll try to track it down, if it isn't already gone

oh sorry, I didn't get a notification that this was replied to?

These ebay ones are the transverse across roof version, yup?
I was thinking that the slots in the roof are for in-line semi permanent ones? I think these would stay in place and so be more useful with then low cost, cross members if needed :/

Those holes are for transverse bars .. as posted there were no 'in-line' bars available to my knowledge (and that's not much these days

)

I have the original factory trnasverse bars (not for sale!) but they are curved and IMO after-market ones (like Thule) are more practical because they are flat and you can get accessories for them. Daughter had a pair of the latter, much better for transporting anything large and flat (furniture, doors etc).

The box section flat Thule are noisy but practical.
