avant roof rails + mont blanc

[Geraint Lloyd]

I have Thule bars that clamp onto the rails on the 89 200 avant. Im  
not sure if they are the same rails or not since the 200 is soooooo  
much faster with all that extra power! The thule bars are adjustable  
for rail thickness and are on the smallest setting, but clamp on hard  
amd there is at least one lister who will confirm that ive hax a  
s61tload of stuff up there with no problems.
