They do Defender (nothing to do with the green oval variety)roof racks rated at 150lbs which mount using rubber rivet bolts ??!!!
No need to remove the head lining and apparently water tight.

They're like a Rawl bolt type design but the sleeve section is rubber with a nut moulded into the end. They expand when you tighten them. Riggers sometimes use them when fitting to concrete panels and suchlike where any normal type of bolt/sleeve won't be able to get a purchase due to the thickness or strength of the retaining material.

I think it's something like, if the value of the goods are over £80 then they'll sting you for tax.

Was trying to imagine what 150lbs looked like and, well heres what i think....

You could carry 295 of these....



You could carry 2 of these....



You could carry 1 of these.....



Or if you really want how about 1 of these..............
