right, can it be done?
these are after market things that have been riveted on the roof and are pretty long, possible to have someone to weld up the 16 rivet holes? or find a new skin for the thing. reason for removal is that the wagon did not come with the bars. Cheers chaps |

why not just leave the rails, or buy some bars to fit the rails - this would be a cheaper option than having the rails removed, holes flled and painting.

Hi. All major after market roof rack suppliers can supply crossbars for their tracks and even if the tracks on your wagon are factory Rola tracks can be fitted to cover any holes left from the removal of another brand of tracks. Cheers MD
