Roof rack question

[alectroll66]

Hi all, recently bought a 2.7tdi 2003 which doesn't come with roof rails. Can anyone give me advice on a roof rack system that will fit, preferably without having to drill through the roof.

I'm interested in fitting a rooftent is the reason I'm asking!

Cheers.

Hi, afraid I only know about the factory fitted type for which you can get rails from a scrappy but need to drill the roof and fit special expanding nuts into the support rails, but am sure you can get aftermarket types that will fit, have a hunt on Ebay, Rick

Thanks Rick, expanding nuts sounds a bit painful!!!

you can get gutterless roof bars that clamp under the edge of the roof.
Had a pair on my old terrano but can't remember off hand the manufacturer.
