Roof bars for V70 - compatibility across models.

Pidgeonpost · Feb 12th, 2024, 19:05

I've been toying with the idea of getting a pair of roof bars for our V70 (P3 2008 model). Looking on eBay and Facebook Market Place throws up quite a few to fit various Volvo models, but I wonder which are compatible across models. For example, will those that fit P2 also fit P3? What about XC70, V60? I guess the profile of the longitudinal bars is a key factor. Anyone else been down this road please?

go in to halfords and read the thule catalogue to check cross compatibility between models to help find a s/h set i believe there is a company called roof rack exchange where you can buy sell and trade roof racks /bars

Thanks...there are a few .pdfs online of the Thule catalog but it's hard viewing on my phone and 'er indoors is on the PC so will have a closer look tomorrow.

I have the correct Thule brackets in the boot of my P3 V70 to go with it to the new owner, I can check if they have a model number on them and post it up if that helps? They came from a chap on here with a similar age XC70 as I recall.

I need some for a V60 now

Thanks for that, I'd appreciate it. I got as far as printing the Volvo page from the 2021 Thule catalog this morning but received a high priority interrupt to do the Tesco click and collect so haven't looked at it yet.

Thule footpack 757 - you can hopefully just about see the details on the attached photos.
