Hi,
Hi everyone a great forum.
Looking at buying a high roof Fiat Doblo MPV which may be pre 2010.
I have read an old post ref fitting Volvo 960/940 roof bars and then fitting a roof box.
I realise this would be very high but wondered if anyone has photos of one with a roof box.
Is it stable being so high and does it raise any other issues etc.
Thanks in advance

Dave
 
My thoughts are would even a Volvo 960 roof bars fit a high top Doblo, even if it does then the extra leverage on the mountings with even a 50 Kg load would strain it.
I have had high top Iveco Daily vans with 6-8 rails on metal bolt down plates that could carry fairly heavy loads, but they are on wider axles so a lot more stable to start with.
I did have an 05 Doblo seven seater with heavy duty rear leaf springs, that when empty raised the vehicle height a good couple of inches, cornering reasonably fast you noticed the body sway without a roof rack.
