1992 245 Factory Wagon Roof Rack Questions 200

posted by  someone claiming to be CB on  Thu Apr 4 13:42 CST 2019 [RELATED]

This is what Volvo used to fasten the rack to the roof.
known as Well Nuts. There is just the steel skin(the ext roof) as an attachment -- the rack does not attach to any of the internal ribs.

That said.........To Build,

Don't do it.

I've got a wagon that has the roof rack. I've had to take care of Rust around some of the attachment pts.
I've owned a wagon that had no roof rack. I prefer w/o the rack.

Cleaning an waxing the roof is a pain with the rack. leaves, an all sorts of other crap collect under the chrome bands. I never use the rack to carry anything . I have a set of 2x4s with Qwik n Easy gutter clamps, racking up to 4 kayaks...75 to 80 mph.
