roof rack project

[briggie]

how easy / feasible is it to replace the roof rails with a roof rack , or even fit a roof rack with the roof rails allready on ?

my plan is to fit a sort of grid type roof rack , which will need a very good earth for a array of antennas , but at the same time , id like to be able to open and fully tilt the sunroof.

ideas folks ? :nenau

How about galvanized cable tray?

Comes in different widths, available from most electrical wholesalers and not expensive.
Cut length to suit pitch between roof bars and bolt on....
Also available in wire mesh.

If you have an original roof mount aerial, remove that, grommet it and use the hole to take a nice size earth lead to a suitable body point.
