B4 estate roof rails.

After getting Lee's 80 tdi estate, I'm needing a set of roof rails........then I'll need to fit them

I'm half thinking the effort to benefit ratio may not be too good though?
Cheers.

you could always try fitting some new wiper blades instead - now that's real work for you!!

Can you fit roof rails to an 80 that hasn't previously had them? When I took the rails off my S2 Avant to tidy them up they were screwed into four spigots the come up through the roof. Barless Avants don't have these spigots so I imagine you'd need to coe up with an alternative solution.
