Roof rack rails
#1

Ya - they fit really well (they are the cross bars - not the rails) - unfortunately I don't know what Volvo they came off of but I might take them into the local Volvo place to find out (I bought them second hand from a buy who had a different SUV that they fit on - they have no info on them themselves). I'll take a pic and post it of the fit - it's really quite tight.
Anybody have any ideas on weight limits?

I sure hope it's not 100 lbs, because I tend to haul about 300 lbs of equipment for work on the roof of mine (mainly extension ladders)... Although I did come across & installed a used set of the roof rack extensions which might help in my situation... I do use aftermarket crossbars though

From the owners manual, our favorite version of "Brit Lit":
Roof rack load (including weight of roof rack)†
110 lb (50 kg) ON ROAD
66 lb (30 kg) OFF ROAD
So, if you run down Bigfoot, it a'int gonna hold him. Same if you catch Shamu on that flyrod in the mountain stream. BTW, extension ladders do plenty of damage to cars following behind you when they come off, be sure to have enough insurance.
