- Berlina Sportwagon
HI,
I have a new Sportwagon Berlina and am having problems with the roof bars. The mechanism to attach them to the roof slots is a neat design. However, it's VERY difficult to get the bar attachment points to slot into the roof.
Even when everything is clean & perfectly lined up, it's impossible to put all in place without reverting to a screwdriver and hammer! I did this reluctantly, and only on the advice of the Holden service centre, because it clearly says on the mechanism "Hand tight only - NO TOOLS ALLOWED".
I'm not sure if it's the bars that are at fault, or the slots in the roof that are too tight. I suspect it's actually the roof slots that are too tight.
Has anyone else had similar probs? If so, how did you sort it?
Thanks,
Ellie
