[WTB] OEM Roof Rails for 2013 B9 L1

[deanobeano65]

Hi, brand new to this forum having just bought a SWB 2013 B9 L1: I am looking for some OEM roof rails in black, as the after markets look poor quality. Any for sale, or any ideas where I could track some down. Many thanks.

I got mine from ebay as you're right, the aftermarket ones are rubbish. I got XTR ones in black on ebay for £100 as new they are over £300. Try anyone breaking an XTR or MSpace on ebay and ask for the bolts to be included as you need the OEM ones to fit it.

No worries. It took me a good 6 months to find a real OEM set but they do come up on eBay. Very thick with long squarish end caps, they're easy to spot among the rubbish aftermarket sets that are curved and made of cheap flimsy aluminium. Search for breaking Berlingo and go from there sending messages to the sellers.

These are the real ones shape (mine)

Thanks again - hopefully now found a set from a breakers yard, look like your picture, should turn up next week. Cheers, Dean

BTW - what are your wheels - look good!

Cheers mate, they are 17" C4 VTR alloys. Another buy from t'ebay. Straight fit but of course needed to get the right wheel bolts for the alloys as the ones that come with steelies are no use.

They were my favourite ones and I found a set for £100 with ok-ish tyres which I've now replaced with Michelin Vector 4 all-weathers at £130 a corner. Superb in rain and snow.

Going to change the colour though, like this:
