Install roof rails in E61
 
Hello!
I have a E61 but it does not have roof rails..
Is it possible to install it?
I can't find any roof bars that i can use in my E61. So i am asking if is it possible to install the roof rails.
Regards

Did you ever find an answer to your question? My Wagon does not have rails either. I love the sleek look, but unfortunately I think I need a roof rack. Based on my cursory research you essentially have to have someone drill holes in your roof and permanently install the rack.

I have the roof rails on my wagon--would like to remove them, would such a venture involve remove the headliner? Ugh.

The holes are pre-drilled. If the rails are not present the trim that covers it uses the holes needed for the rails.

TLO03 has included a link for the parts page where you can see what parts are needed to install the rails.

How did you fill the holes in the metal roof gutter? I'm about to pull the trigger on the parts order myself and am wanting to ensure I have everything lined up :)
