Prospeed Roof Rack
Now find myself needing a roof rack cant keep doing this
Click image to enlarge
So looks like it will be a Prospeed, how easy is it to fit. I am assuming it comes in 1 piece, so it will need to come off the delivery vehicle and straight onto the D3.==================================

As above, took me about 20 mins. A helper is ...err... Helpful to lift it up and on.

They do come up here occasionally 2nd hand, so worth keeping an eye out if you're in no rush (Save you a few bob also) Iggy/Ieuan

Fair enough
I’d imagine they are easy to fit but probably a two person jobD4 MY15 SE TECH

Need it for next week, taking our Marquee to an event, and the length of some bits mean knees are against the dash, if we carry it inside, livable with for a short distances but unbearable for a 200 mile trip.==================================

if you drive around with an empty roof rack a lot then the prospeed is for you.
If you want a man's roof rack... the sort of thing the camel smoking, stubbly chin, hat wearing chaps would use... then get the official one.
