Technical Panda 169 I want to cancel the roof bars? Does it take in water?

[atakan123123]

The ceiling of my garage at home is very low.
If I make a wrong maneuver in some places. I almost hit the ceiling.

The roof bars look great, but I would be very upset if I tilted the roof.

I wonder if water will get into the car if I remove the sticks?
Has anyone experienced this?

Models without the factory fitted bars have plastic screws in the mounting holes.
It is a blind treaded hole so it won't be issue to remove the bars, you might need to find some screws (or orginal plastic caps) to make it look tidy if you wish after removal of the bars.

I have attached a image of the cap to show what it looks like without the bars.

Fiat part number for the blanking screws is 735357223

Cost about 5 GBP each in UK.

I'd buy the roof bars off you if you wasn't so far away.

 

[Pepandaros]

Haha I was excactly thinking that as well!

I've just bought some genuine Fiat used roof bars, the ones that go from side to side off eBay for £15.00 Hopefully They will do for what I want them for.

Does anyone know what diameter the roof bar fixing bolts are.
Thanks.
