Tourer roof bars
Does anyone have any idea what the roof rails/bars are made of on a Tourer?
TIA.

They're aluminium, not sure what grade probably a 6000 series something like a 6063 but could be a 3000 series

I wonder what they would like polished and lacquered?
I have seen a Saab that had this done, they looked amazing. |

Just a good polish every now and again will be fine.

Do the ends pull out so you can split them into three?? Or is that just the casting ?

A member some years ago had ten sets chromed I believe (might of been polished). I'm sure someone will dig the thread up

Yes they split, not too difficult to separate the parts are held together with a plastic connector which is just a tight fit.
Put one end in a vice and knock the other end with a soft hammer. I once shortened some to fit a saloon, but looking back I'm not sure what I was thinking... https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...of+barsI'm
