Roof racks
Roof racks

Fancy a rack for the bus (2 bow), any ideas on best place to go. Problem is I want it to go in the garage with it on and think I will be an inch or so too high so a lowered version would be cool.

I have the same issue, so have to remove it everytime we put it back in the garage. How did you do that just cut a bit of each side? has it impacted on the strength of the rack?
