I have a 1992 745 that's headed for the junkyard. (Engine fire melted everything under the hood) It has a pretty nice roof rails/rack system, I think made for Volvo by Thule. I've just bought a 1988 245. Is anybody familiar enough with them to tell me how much luck I'd have installing that roof system on the 245? I've removed one of the rails and it looks like there's actually a channel in the roof structure that's designed to support the load. I'm guessing I'll have no such structure in the 245 roof. And it had some blind nut/spacers where it was attached, and I don't think I can get the old ones out. So I'd have to source new ones.

Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks in advance,

Bob
