Quik-n-easy roof rack mounts
 
They were before my time, but has anyone used them much? Curious if they worked okay. I like the idea of a roof rack on my 66 wagon when needed. Just don’t want to permanently affix one to it.

I know Sweet Patina sells their new match design, but they are fairly pricey.

Or if you all know of other alternatives I’m all ears.

Those are steep. We have a couple sets of these cheap ones (under $100) for Drag Week to put slicks on the roof. We had to reinforce the bars with a piece of angle iron to hold the weight but they work pretty good. Different places sell them like ebay and trailer places. universal drip rail mount.

Yeah that’s an option I should look at too. Will the mounts intended for a Land Cruiser fit our cars? As long as they are a drip rail mount style?

Couldn't tell ya on that. We always stayed with something mentioning older cars. watch the width side to side range since you have a wagon.

I've picked up at least 3 sets over the years off of Craigslist. However prices are all over the place from $700 down. I've never paid more than $100 for a set. And that was for the rowboat carrier version.

They work good with the original bars. Unfortunately Quik-n-Easy sold the clamps separately so you'll find ones with EMT instead of pipe for the cross bars.
