Cross Bars For 850 Wagon


Slater

Recommended Posts

I want a set of cross bars for my 850 wagon. They have to be the ones that do NOT bolt to the Euro rails. I need the bars that bolt directly to the threaded holes in the door frame...

Here's a pic:

I don't need the fancy locks or anything. Just the plain old cross bars...

you got a good Car Rack dealer out there?  THose are just plain rectangular Thule Bars right?

I guess. I have heard that they were made for Volvo by Thule...

I've seen them before on ebay for about $50. Problem is I either see them for sedans or for cars with Euro rails.

Do you know the weight limit of all of these cross bar systems? Are they just made for dinky little snow boards and skis, or can you put a luggage carrier up there or even a few sheets of plywood? I'm estimating 60-75lbs max.

oh yeah man, I had a HUGE packasport pod on a suburban, full of skis and snowboards, and I put a 600 pound Laser sailboat on my explorer, utilizing the Yakima syustems. Check out Packsport online.. pretty nice pods.. I have one in Navy Blue still if anyone wants it. :P

So you're saying the Yakima round crossbars will handle anything I can pile on top of the car?
