Sydneykid Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Has anyone found the right profile roof racks to fit the standard rails? I have had a look at a few in my local SupaCrap, the Nissan Navara looks like it might be close.

Sydneykid Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Did someone say Navara? Hi Duncan, Merry Xmas, do you have a Navara handy that you can measure the profile of the roof rails? Surely Nissan didn't make a unique profile just for Stageas:cheers: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-1135060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Yes, very handy. Exactly what do i need to measure? It currently has roof racks on as well You convinced my out of a Stagea so I got a navara to tow with instead Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-1135608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It currently has roof racks on as well You convinced my out of a Stagea so I got a navara to tow with instead I didn't think I was convincing you out of a Stagea, I really like mine. Except I can't find a decent tow bar manufacturer in Sydney. But that's not the Stagea's fault. The standard Stagea roof rails are triangular shape. Using the verniers, they are 35 mm on the outside and 30 mm on the underside and inside. That's ignoring the rounded corners. Maybe compare that with your Navara.

PranK Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Sydney Kid, Thule make very nice racks to clamp onto the roof rails on Stageas, the good ones (aerodynamic) are about $180 per cross bar and then you can get heaps of 'bolt-ons' like ski, bike carriers etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-1138416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 sorry SK the Navara is very old style roof rack, it clips into the gutter at the door, I don't think its anything like that.

If not what did you ask for? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-1141118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PranK Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 SK, They dont have vehicle specific racks for roof rails, they just have different length bars to go across the roof rails, so if you go into a dealer, they will get you the one you need.

tigerleo62 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 The Thule part numbers for the Stagea are as follows: Thule Foot pack #755 Thule Aero Bar #861 (120cm bar) The Thule International parts manual lists the wrong size bar for Stagea 97 on - it lists the longest bar which is too wide for the car. The above part number fits - I have them on my car now. Cost is around $250. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-1156707 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnamg Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 S1 and S2 should be the same as the changes made to the car were cosmetic and any changes to the physical cabin structure would be too expensive to implement mid life which is why lots of cars get nose and bum jobs. so in theory unless nissan was pouring money down the sink on mid life upgrades then yeah they should fit. anyone post up a pic of the roof rack on their car pretty please Glenn Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-1157418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerleo62 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The roof bars are adjustable for width to a certain point hence fairly universal as long as you get the correct width bar in the first place. I doubt that a series two would be 40mm wider than the series 1 which would mean going to the next wider bar.

STAG250 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The Thule part numbers for the Stagea are as follows: Thule Foot pack #755 Thule Aero Bar #861 (120cm bar) The Thule International parts manual lists the wrong size bar for Stagea 97 on - it lists the longest bar which is too wide for the car. The above part number fits - I have them on my car now. Cost is around $250. I had 135 mm bars on my series 1 and accommodated a 6oo litre top box and a sea kayak if I offset the kayak to one side of the rails, using Thule kayak holders. This gave me no problems and I drove thousands of km's like that loaded up.

STAG250 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Now can anyone help me re the M35 and fitting a roof rack that is not the Nissan issue one? I tried Thule and they have no standard fittings that suit. Prices are steep if I have to adapt a Thule but I wish to use my Thule fittings that I already have. If I drop the $700 odd that I need for the Nissan one can anybody confirm that it is the satandard Euro sized bar and will suit my attachments? Or can I just get the roof fitting and use my existing bars? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59398-roof-racks/#findComment-3284034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS4StagMan Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just got a set of roof racks for my Series 2 Stagea and wanted to advise other owners that these fit perfectly; "Jetbag" brand. Owned and made by Thule (Sweden), 3 yr warr Model- Complete 6501 Black 126cm long with black foot kit Lockable 75 Kg rating (very good) Got them through these guys based in NSW - $105 delivered (less than 1/2 the price of ROLA, THULE and the other major brands). http://www.roofrackworld.com.au/ More info here. http://www.jetbag.com/ Apperently the same as the current model Toyota RAV 4 with roof rails.
