    Side mounted accesories on xc70

    I've started with some mods.. I've mounted led lights in the boot and wired them to the rear wash wipe ( just to test how they will go) then they will be fully wired into some aux suitched on the roof lights at the front.

    Side mounted accesories on xc70

    Wonder if anyone has any ideas in how the rails are mounted on this xc70. Only way I can see is they are bonded to the window somehow.

    Hello from the UK

    Thought I better say hi.in the UK with a barn find of a xc70 2006 picked up for a cheap 325 UK £. Going to be slowly making it a bit different as no one over really bothers with modifications on them in the UK.
