Hi everyone, I want to mount a roof rack to my sportrak. cant find one too easily cos im in Ireland. Thought id knock one up myself. I was wondering if anyone has done this before. Is it possible to mount it without making any permanent changes to the roof, i was thinking of using the existing nut-bolt joints from the rear roof conversion and the front hinge on the sunroof. while im at it ill be adding a set of spots on the front, all going well I will post some pics. Im not great with this type of work so it will take a while and if any of you guys know any tricks or tips id love to hear them.
cheers.

BEAR IN MIND THAT THE SUNROOF AND REAR SECTION ARE BOTH GRP.
The correct roof rack extends over the rear roof and mounts via poles (Like the roll bar in the rear) to the rear bumpers thus providing a solid steel platform. The front, I think mounts on the gutter either side of the sunroof,(someone will tell me if I'm wrong. This gives a strong mounting that won't collapse under weight.
