A couple of weeks ago I bought a Fabia Comfort estate 1.4 TDI to replace our dead SDI. Like our old SDI, it came without the rails on the roof that you need to attach roof bars. I got a quote a few months ago from a Skoda dealer and a new pair is something like £150, so I'd like to find a second hand pair but there were none on eBay when I looked.

 

Am I searching for the right thing? Is there a better place to look (local scrapyards have none at the moment)? Will a pair from a MK2 Fabia fit? Does someone want to sell me a pair? Or any other ideas...

 Mine estate didn't have rails so I fitted a standard roof rack. The attached details typical ones, cheaper versions are available.

Looks good. I didn't know that was possible. I guess you have to buy the fitting kit and a compatible roof rack - is the roof rack easily removable once fitted? Also, how much did all that cost?

 

We do already have roof racks that we could use if we had the rails, which makes rails a bit more appealing.
