Roof rails - yes or no????

Putford · Post by **Putford** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 10:57 am

Just a quick one - wondering wether to add roof rails, tbh I don't 'need' them, they'd just be for looks, black caddy so I'd go for the silver + black ones, I had them on my previous caddy but they did tend to whistle on the motorway.

Yes or no?

Personally no. And I've seen a few threads on here where people have removed them. I think they detract from the smooth lines.

Had them on mine when I bought it but took them off. Looks 100 times better without.
I'd say no unless you intend on using them at some point.

One of the first things I removed from mine, so without for me.

I think it depends, have you got a swb or maxi? I'd say swb no, maxi yes.

Personal preference. Mine were factory fitted (SWB Caddy Cross), and I much prefer them to how it would look without. I use them occasionally too, but I've never had them whistle (even with a Thule Canyon rack on top of them).

I agree with robblowen on this one.

Depends on preference and colour imo. I’ve got them on mine and I really like them

Only downside was the black ones discoloured quickly so I had mine re sprayed gloss black

Mine didn't have them when I bought it so I added them - looks 100 times better with them.

I suppose it's all about personal preference

I fitted black roof rails and black side rails to my white Caddy. I think it looked bang on with black wheels but it’s personal preference I guess!

Thanks for the replies, mines a swb model. Looks like I’ll save my pennies

Depends if you're going to use them.
I think my Maxi looks better with them and I use them to transport lengths of wood, longboard surfboards, etc.
