Internal roof rails

Hi all 

Does anyone know of how to get some internal roof bars for my berlingo?? I need to hang bike helmets and jackets to dry.

Thanks all

The official ones cost a small fortune from the dealers and are also usually very expensive on the like of ebay as a result.

If you dont require the increased depth that the official ones provide then you can do as I have done and use a telescopic washing line pole (with the hook cut off) or a telescopic shower rod and just extend them onto the cavities provided in your vehicle.

Yeah I saw the 169 price tag for the proper ones.. 
I.might give that a whirl as don't need the depth just some extra storage up there 

Thanks for the ideas

In this much earlier post you'll see how I used the internal roof rack fixing points to provide cargo anchoring points which I use for holding bikes in place but can be used for anything. https://www.berlingoforum.com/thread-13929.html

Several sets of original bars available on Facebook Marketplace - Ranging in price between expensive and extortionate

Oh yeah there are some. Thanks for that. 

They are definitely costly

M8 hex boltheads fits pretty snugly in the mounting points, so if you put one in each ond of a telescoping rod, you're all set.

I used a £1 IKEA curtain rod that came with threaded inserts already in the end (M5 i think) and used a washer and a nut on a bolt to attach to the slot under the cap. it retracts to 700mm so can be stored easier. 

here is the link to the curtain rail i used - https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/raecka-curt...-70221395/

I have attached some pictures for reference

Hope this helps and cant go wrong for £1 plus 2 bolts 2 nuts and 2 washers!
