Roof rack and roof bars

Post by JeffRoo »

Hi All,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm looking for roof bars for my tin top Caravelle.
If searched through usual websites and all I can find is roof bars for pop tops, and the roof racks with beech slats, nice but not appropriate for my sit on top kayaks. There are a couple of good looking 'expedition' racks, but are way out of my budget. I just need roof bars that don't sit too high above the vans roof. Any help is appreciated :ok

They are also called ladder racks.
