Thanks Ngoma for confirming the length.(I also measured; min.51-52 across.) It took 3weeks for him to fish them out of his garage, then 2 days to take a picture.Few days to take 2nd pict. I`m scared to ask him to take it apart&take a pict again... I must have gotten very annoying...)
Someone who has/had/seen a `Volvo-made` gutter mount rack before, say something. Looking at the picture I can`t tell how it attaches to the gutter...the black part I don`t get. (?) I flipped the pict for better results.
Back plate with black (curved) plate goes in gap(?) then outer part goes/hooks under? This thing does look like a gutter mount to me but still not sure. What are those 2holes for? Crossbars---attachment point= 90degrees angle; it suggests a rain gutter setup, Im hoping.
