I'm after a set of Roof racks to fit my RX.

I only need 2, have to suit an '86 RX Turbo Leone.

Willing to pay postage but I'd rather pickup from around Brisbane.

Cheers,
Tom.

I have some Atera roof bars from my L series wagon. I suspect they won't be suitable because the rear clamp is specific to the gutter above the side window of the cargo area, which is different to the front side window gutter clamp.

Shame :/ I've been keeping an eye out for some universal ones but they're all a bit costly and kind of look like shit in my opinion hahah

Take a tip - find self one of those 100 piece bit sets that will hopefully have the security bit to match the Rola roof racks coz I can just see you now , in same sitution I was in - at a wreckers, found some cheapies - Rola and no key or bit could be found. Intended to go back later to try some bits and was too late , another car was dumped on top :(

I am now prepared as I scored a pair of misfits put out on a clean up pile complete with key! And they don't fit the L sedan - the gutter mounts are vehicle specific kind of thing.

Cheers for the tip!

I will be keeping an eye out, very little number of older Subarus around Brisbane though :/ slim pickings

Do Gen 1 liberty bars fit? as I have a spare set of pro-racks.
