    cabrio hardtop roofrack ideas?

    Anyone with a hardtop have creative ideas on how to fit a aftermarket roofrack to the OEM attachment points? Any ideas on a custom bracket that can be made so it can fit the aftermarket feet and the OEM points? Thanks.

        I think on realoem they may still sell them.

          i purchased a very rare BMW oem roof rack for my cabrio hardtop on Ebay a few months ago. Realoem.com lists the parts including the "fixing clamp" which is what you may need to modify to attach a yakima etc... i'd holdout for the BMW one as they do come up from time to time, like the hardtops.

              I'm going to design and build a collapsable rack for when my top is down that'll fit in the trunk.

                If someone could send me some good pictures of the mounts, and possibly some measurments. I could probably figuer something out. Or pissbly design some mounting brackets.

                For those who have looked through my roof rack thread, I am now back at my shop and am the store manager there. We specialize in roof racks.

                      Wait. You are making a rack for your soft top?
