Default Has anyone got a roof rack I could borrow in August?

Being a bit cheeky here

Off surfing in August and will be using the A8 to get there (North Wales).
Last year when we went we took the board, but used fabric roof rack. Basically left the roof looking worst for wear

So - was wondering if any kind souls could lend me one for the 2 weeks I'm away. If not, then I will use the fabric on again but see if I can do any mods with them to reduce the roof damage.

Cheers

I bought one last year from Halfords, the weekend before the gearbox failed - it had been fitted and tested, but never used due to aforementioned gearbox.

I took it back to Halfords and got a refund, think it was about £100 or thereabouts.

Will try to find the photos
