I have always wanted a car with roof bars and the Doblo is my first car to have them, and very nice they usually look. They are really practical as when you add the cross pieces you can add Top boxes, bike racks, move that 8 foot sofa, yadda, yadda, yadda.....
However, (I bet you knew I was about to say that)
they come with unexpected consequences. I might not have had them had I known that they would be used by the local large bird population as a roost. Every day my car is getting absolutely splattered in long streaks of bird poop :bang:
Pidgeons, Doves, Rooks, Crows, Magpies even what looked like a feckin Raven the other day use them to sit and have a gossip to their mates. I reckon I might have to fit a row of those flexible anti-bird roost spikes along the length of the bars as the mess is driving me nuts. If I had a light coloured car it wouldn't notice but mines that deep metalic maroon red they used in the publicity shots and its absolutely perfect for showing off bird mess to its best effect.
:life:
Anyone else have this problem ?
