Just been having a nose and noticed that Duckworth have a good price on the genuine Roof Rails. No good for me as I bought some but I've not seen them this cheap.

Well, let's see. I've been a member of this forum for about four hours - a forum that in the welcome page I read "Welcome all, hope you'll find this forum helpful, certainly plenty of experienced mechanics and diy bolt botherers around to give advice or assistance. I see in a previous post someone mentioned how friendly and pleasant this forum is["

But sadly not Badger 51.

So, suitably chastened, let's try again. Instead of dead link, I should have written...

For those of you who are looking for roof rail solutions, unfortunately the half life of links can be fairly short. Some last for years, others are fleeting, like snowflakes in Florida. Sadly, this link be one of them.

Or how about...

For those among ye who seeketh roof rail solutions, know this: the life of a link is oft most brief. Some endure, steadfast as ancient oaks, whilst others vanish swift—like snowflakes 'pon the fields of Florida. Alas, this link be one of the latter.

Or

Whoever seeketh roof rail solutions, be ye warned: the life of many a link is but short. Some endure long, steadfast as an oak; but others vanish swiftly, like snow upon the sands of Florida. Alas, this link was of the latter sort — now lost, as if it had never been.

Or

Book of Roofrails, Chapter 3

And lo, there were many who sought after the fittings of the roof, even the rails which crown the chariots of men.

But the path was not straight, neither were the links steadfast.
For some links endured unto many seasons, firm and unshaken, as the cedars of Lebanon.
Yet others perished swiftly, as a snowflake falleth in the land of Florida, and melteth away.
Behold, the link which thou seekest is no more; it hath vanished as a vapour.
Therefore be thou wise, and store up the knowledge of rails while it may yet be found.
For the days are fleeting, and the web changeth even as the wind.

Here endeth the lesson
