Lightweight enough to lift up into the car on my own too. Still have the box in the garage although not sure I'll need it again as they E class estate swallows up everything. Not sure I'd trust those steps though, think I'd stick to a small folding stool. |

In terms of the wee step damaging the car. My experience (which I accept is not empirical evidence) is that it took my weight, circa 19stone + a fully packed suitcase without so much as a creak, dent or squeal. It may be that my V90 is made of stronger stuff but I have had a good look and there's no damage.

Well...
Seems that it MUST hold the weight of a single person - many times over. Says here that according to SAE J839B document the door latch must support 2500 lbs of vertical and 2000 lbs of horizontal force: https://www.mokidoorstep.com/pages/faq So that's that then... at min. 900 kgs of downforce rating it will support my sorry ass many times over. And then some.

I recently bought a new roof box for my V60. I really liked the look of the Thule vector but couldn’t justify the crazy cost ~£1300!!. I ended up getting the Thule Motion XL (Paid £549) which is more than big enough for what I need. Just hope that I can squeeze under the 2M high toll barriers (fast toll tag lanes) when I head to France next month. I think with wing bars and roofbox it comes to 1.95m so fairly close !!
This is the Thule Vector which look smart on the V60: Thule_vector_V60.jpg And this is the Thule Motion XL on my V60: IMG_4103.jpeg |
