Prospeed rack from a D3 onto a D4

The D4 has full length roof rails.
The D3 has the shorter ones.

Am I correct in thinking I’ll need to fit shorter roof rails to the D4 in order for the prospeed roof rack to fit?

Censored !
Best place to order some?
Got to get a few other bits as well - like mud flaps, cubby fridge and tyre pressure sensors

If your talking the short roof rails....

I just got 2nd hand ones Ben cost me £50 either on here or the bay. Condition doesn't matter really as you cant see the rails much with the rack on Thumbs Up

No they don't, both the D3 and D4 have short roof rails.
The exceptions are the HSE Luxury (MY14 on) and certain 'special' models e.g. MY11 Landmark.
And of course, unless they're specified on a special order.

BTW, Got some short roof rails for sale if anyone's interested.

Hey Ben

Fitting longer rails to my D3 is on my list of things to do. If they're interchangeable do you fancy doing a swap? I've no idea whether they fit each way...!

Hi Rich,
could be a good solution.

Am going to see if I can swap between the D3 and the D4 first.

As I'm now selling the D3 it can go with the D4 wheels and roof bars.

Will let you know how I get on - should get some time at the end of this week to investigate.

before I get in to taking apart 2 cars again - can anyone please confirm that roof rails are interchangeable between D3 and D4?
presume the roof is the same shape, bolt holes in the same places etc?
