Mk I Mondeo Roof Bars - Jools
Has anyone got any experience of fitting original Ford roof rails (the ones running running from front to back) on a secondhand estate. All the aftermarket ones look pretty weedy & don't have a large enough distance apart (front to back) to give me chance of carrying large timber sheets etc.

I bought the car without rails thinking it was easy to remove the black roof strip & bolt the rails into the slot on the roof like Vauxhalls - alas a nasty surprise was in store when the Ford parts guy told me you have to take out the head-linning & drill the roof and that he reckoned it was 6 hrs workshop time at the Ford garage - so for me at home god knows how long !!

Am I trying to do somthing V difficult or should I be ok ?

Any advice appreciatted.
