My extras added to D3, so far

[Mal_W]

I have had my D3 some 6 months now and I thought I would list what extras I have installed as a guide to anyone thinking to do likewise. Cost hasn't always been the critical factor as location, convenience and availability are also influences.

Mal,

Are the Rhino roof channels full length?

The Rhino channels are full length over the raised section of the roof. I have two bars on this section. However, as I wanted three bars, the front one is on the lower roof section and is mounted on a separate section of channel about 150mm long, i.e. more or less fixed. The support to this bar is longer so that all three bars are the same height.

Are the strip moulds to the doors LR oe products?-seem very cheap?

Yes, although they had to come from Melbourne apparently. They come with a fitting template and I was charged 1 hour labour to install.

Regards,

Steffo
Hope that explains it all.
