[For Sale] roof rails
Having replaced the regular roof rails with the extended length ones, I now have the old (shorter) ones going spare.
I reused the old roof rail bolts, so the unused bolts are available. Also re-used the rear trim as it was a little longer, so this has a couple of shiny new trims for the back - just about visible in the picture but they're a bit long for easy posting.

You can see the difference in length between the old and the new (shiny, unattached) rear cap. I left the old one on as it looked scrappy without, a new fitting would possibly be better.
An alternative is to get a new end cap made up with the extra tab atthe back - I might (get my son to) have a go at that this weekend.

Thank you for the picture and I can see this won't solve my problem as I'll still be left with a gap!
I therefore humbly return the dibs for A.N.Other and wish you good luck for the sale.

Looks like mine - which is why I kept the old covers
Perhaps D3's without any rails have a cover strip, in which case the shorter end cap would be fine.

I think you're missing the rear cover strip (or the full length one has been cut) could be worth looking for someone breaking a D3 and then see if there's a deal to be had .. the short rails will sit on top of the strip from memory..I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

I threw a set away a few weeks ago too - after they had been wedged between my garage roof joists for about 12 years after a fitted a set of rails on my first D3 Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
