Hi Guys. I dont know if you can see it in this photo but I have some sort of attachment on top of my Sprinter (leftover from ambulance days).

Hi We just bought a new 200 series cruiser, our second one, we want to fit a roofrack. we have decided on a fullsize aluminium. The question is : do we fit it close to the roof, or have it up on longer feet? we're thinking ease of cleaning the roof. What are some of your thoughts please. Cheers, Hans and Judy
