Does anyone know if it is possible/realistic to fit a roofrack to the Eos? My wife and I are off to France in a few months time and the thought of not being able to stock up on lots of Chablis is concerning us greatly! I haven't seen one advertised anywhere, and with the roof mechanism I wonder how sensible it would be to mount anything on the roof!

Still, you guys all eat lots of fish and have brains the size of planets so if you've found a solution I'd appreciate it!

Cheers

PS - my Eos should have arrived at the dealers today - I'm a=waiting for 'that' call - you can guess how excited we BOTH are!!!!!

I would not suggest monkeying around with the roof... it is a finely tune device. I would look into a tow option. I belive you can get a hitch for the Eos... (http://oempl.us/product_info.php?cPath=53_54&products_id=291&osCsid=3e1c9978ce543e4e754939a2b7e5d325)

Then connect any number of devices to it. Just remeber that the truck needs 2 feet of space behind it to open.

Cheers - I thought that might be the case!!! I do agree about messing about with that roof.

Best wishes

If you don't find a hitch, then your only option is to buy the Chablis, dump all your belongings and put the wine in the trunk. You have know your priorities : ) I can't imagine going on a trip and not be able to drop the top.

Personally I'd fill the back seat with wine and leave passengers 3 + 4 behind...
