Hi I have a c max and have used thule roof bars successfully for a nubre of years. However the threads have rusted where the bolts fit to the roof. What can I do to reslve this an who is likely to be able to do it. I went to the dealer and they didnt really seem to know. Someone suggested fitting a plate over and screwing into that but I wasnt sure about the load bearing capacity. Any suggestions appreaciated.
Do you mean the threads are rusty, but basically sound or do you mean the metal surrounding the mounts is corroded? If the latter, I'd be concerned that any repair should not result in the roof load departing company with the car on the motorway.
