MR-2 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 What kind of roof rack mountings are available for 3dr Starlet, door place isn't problem, but rear sideglass upper place is. What type mounting to search, can I use P8/9 roof racks somehow on my P7? Very hard to find proper system, 4dr is too easy.One way is do own rack system and make custom attacment by drilling throw roof side. Going to amputate roof windshield trims away and same time could do Hiace style mountings. Could also do very low profile system, if using this box or something. If towing hitch plans fails, then I could carry few bikes on top of roof. Not going any trash bin VW style roof shit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 You'd need a 3 dr converter kit. You basically have 2 bits that clamp in the door and then one that attaches to this but sits further back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR-2 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks Rob. Horrible looking, never seen that kind of. Perhaps have to do own better looking, same time when I saw roof open. Maybe weld some nuts, then it would be easy just bolt rack mountings. Or maybe do long "solid" roofbars, like have seen on some rare P8 opentop models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
