So, I've researched the bicycle rack world for good roof racks for the 1998 XC for our two Trek Navigator bikes. Looked at Thule and Yakima. Both are excellent racks which I would judge about equal. Thule makes the official Volvo rack. Thule is Swedish, and Yakima is US. I ended up with the Yakima Copperhead (interestingly, it does look like a snake!) based on advice and experience at my local bike shop. The basic $80 (per bike) rack fits the XC OEM roof rack perfectly. Worked a discount because bought the bike there. Locks would cost a little extra. Quality gear which is easy to install -- refreshing to see such a thoughtful design. There are more expensive models, of course. This one appears to be a winner.
