Remove Roof-rack???

[Deb]

Hi there, i'm not sure if this is the right place for my question but here goes........ I have a defender 90 hard-top, I am fitting side windows over Christmas (what a christmas present!!) the question is that I have an ARB full length roofrack and was wondering if due to it's weight it should be removed before cutting a big hole in te side of the truck??
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated, thanks

personally i wouldnt bother,but then last 90 i helped put windows in didnt have a roof rack  :?

One way of looking at it would be to leave it on, as you don't want to fit the windows, then put the roofrack back on and break the windows  :x

Cheers guys..........wasn't relishing the thought of taking it off, don't think i will now  :D

Hi there, had the windows fitted over christmas, didn't remove the roof-rack!  I am so chuffed with them, can't believe how much visability I have, makes me smile when I look over my shoulder!............I expect the novelty will wear off soon.

Anyway thanks for the advice  :D  Am gonna try and upload the photos to my profile
