Just what I've been looking for, but didn't want to spend upwards of $200. Did you order through their website?

EDIT: Couldn't find the particular model you specified on the website.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I just got a set of roof racks for my Series 2 Stagea and wanted to advise other owners that these fit perfectly;

"Jetbag" brand. Owned and made by Thule (Sweden), 3 yr warr

Model- Complete 6501

Black 126cm long with black foot kit

Lockable

75 Kg rating (very good)

Got them through these guys based in NSW - $105 delivered (less than 1/2 the price of ROLA, THULE and the other major brands).

More info here.

Apperently the same as the current model Toyota RAV 4 with roof rails.

Go to www.jetbag.com

then click on "load carriers", then "jetbag complete" then "railing rack".

I ordered these through Roof Rack World in NSW by phone.

www.roofrackworld.com.au

Ring them and ask for the above "Jetbag" ones for Nissan Stagea....the guy was very helpful (Daniel I think his name was) and measured up a new RAV4 that he had outside after I gave him some dimensions of the roof rails on the Stagea and said they will fit fine.....and yes they did.

Sometimes they also advertise on Ebay.

The racks are compatible with the full range of Thule accessories as they have the standard size bar.

Hi Guys,

Has anyone had a look at Repco?

They had two or three brands of roof racks (rola, thule?, .......?) with a multitude of accessories and clamps for different roof rails in their range.

I saw a particular clamp that im sure would fit a stag, both the clamp and bar it

suited was quite aerodynamic.

AutoBarn catalogue just arrived (13/10/2010) with a set (pair) of Buzz Roof Racks for rail-type roof mountings (like the Stagea).

$89 for the pair.

Just bought a set of these. They fit PERFECTLY! Will post pictures soon. And also plan on buying some bike rails for it too.

Wait whats this, some roof-rack-toting bicycle riding family wagon with a slow-poke behind the wheel? Then BAM!, gone in a cloud of fuel and carbon :no:

are they aerofoil style?

or box section?

might have to investigate further

nah just square tube (slightly rectangular). Repco currently has 50% off Rola racks, but they dont make some for stageas, and even went to a roof rack specialist and he basically said 'well they dont make them, so all i can offer is Thule universal ones for $270 a pair'... :no:

does anyone have any more photos of their roof racks installed? The square type ones would be ok, for a couple of trips now and then, but don't they create a fair bit of drag and noise? just what i've heard.....

still thinking to get a set of rola racks..... just a bit pricey for only being used a couple of times per year... hmmm decisions
