I am seeking measurement of how wide the Volvo V60 factory roof rack 31664414 is. Nothing on Volvo or aftermarket web sites. I hope I uploaded image below
Marshall, thanks for the suggestion. I know you have fitted a few racks over time. Using the Thule fit guide it cited Thule 711400 135cm Wingbar Evo for this 2018 Volvo. The rack I have in mind is a Volvo branded, but very likely Thule made. Big price difference as the Volvo unit is about $240 vs Thule $660 for apparently same set-up.
You might say I have a bit of experience with rackification.
Most factory racks are edge racks and don’t extend beyond the feet. Not a problem if you don’t need the real estate but limiting if you wish to use a Hullavator or have wide loads to carry.
I have no idea about the pricing other than I hope they made a mistake in your favor.
I have a 2018 xc60. The Volvo roof racks are made by thule but they are prettier but " less dynamic" lets say If you don’t have one yet go Thule. I had to dump the whole factory rack to use the Hullivator.
Peace J
Thank you for your first-hand experince with the OEM rack. I do not plan to use a Hullivator, just bare bars for Lowes and Thule saddles for kayaks. What do you mean by “less dynamic” please?
less dynamic - Flush bars not engineered to modify the rail clamp to take an extended bar. I don’t even know if Volvo offered a factory rack that had extended bars
I still got the Volvo XC60 rack. I bet a $ it fits the V60. The bars accordion adjust into position.
Where are you at ?
Beaufort SC. Do your racks look like the ones pictured in my original post?
