I'm not sure, but Yakima's fitment guide specifies 58" CrossBars for the 7xx series. I've heard it's possible to use EMT conduit with the Yakima towers if your crossbars won't work- spray painted flat black they'd probably look just as good also.

Rain gutter or not?
I found a deal on a roof rack setup (crossbars,bike mounts,top carrier bin and a roof basket) but looking at the pics I`m not exactly 100% sure if these will attach to the 745 which car has ONLY the rain gutter (NO factory bars or other attachment points whatsoever)
I know this is not d24 specific but please take a look at the 2 pictures I got from seller... help me decide if (t)his stuff will mount onto my rain gutter or not. The crossbars are 52 long btw, that sounds OK to me. I`d like to buy it only if this IS a rain gutter style rack. It is lockable too+keys (nice). And it is made by VOLVO. (I have no chance to see it in person or try on the car) Thanks everyone!

The first photo (profile view) sure looks like a gutter mount but would need a better photo to be sure. Have them open up the clamp and take another profile view on a simple background. Rain gutters on mine measure ~51-3/4" width so should be ok there.

Rain gutter
Quote:
 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. Last edited by RedArrow; 02-17-2014 at 06:08 PM.

To me it looks like gutter clamps. Some time ago I had old school (rain gutter mounted) ski racks and the clamps looked similar to the ones in that photo as far as I could perceive from the busy photo. Don't know what more I can tell you. Two holes? What two holes?
If they won't send you better photos, and if you're not sure it's not going to work, let it pass. How about starting a thread on Turbobricks maintenance & nonperformance forum http://forums.turbobricks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 Much larger audience with higher probability they have or have seen Volvo racks. Oh look, here are photos of gutter mount racks on a 745 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showth...highlight=rack D24T.com is a wonderful forum, but I admit we are evidently not experts on gutter mount racks.
