 |
|
Does anyone have or know of a link to a picture of the luggage rack that was an option with the hard top? I had an old URL to an accessories page that seems to be dead now.
Thanks,
Mike |

How much luggage can you put on those roofs without reinforcement?

Could be off an old Ford Bronco... or Jeep... I'll bet there are a lot of racks that could be adapted to work.

Judging from the picture, it looks like VW rated it for the weight of a couple bags and a hatbox.
