Could be a "oh Sh*t ! I opened the sunroof by accident" sort of incident Wink

Yes, although I suspect that there is some 'room for movement' in the positioning of the rack so it shouldn't be an issue

Shouldn't be an issue with the sunroof as the rack is much higher at the front, assuming the rack is level, it should also clear the PTI antenna which, IIRC, doesn't protrude above the roofline any higher than a fully tilted sunroof

So I'm thinking this is the:

FRDISCO4009 1.6m Short Roof Rack Windcheetah Slimline R 4150.00

which (if there is no special on this model Crying or Very sad ) works out to be about £100 more than the full length?... Confused

I wonder if there is any room for:

a. An "additional special" deal from Front Runner?
b. Any room in the crate heading Reading(wards) Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

I echo your sentiments, discoflo, but the saving made it a no brainer for me. Unfortunately when rest of the domestic budgetting committee discover the new accessory, it'll be a no-brainer for another reason....
