Hello,
This is just for info to save you any hassle, as experienced by me today...
I have a E300TD estate pre-facelift. Last yr I bought a set of genuine MB roof rails from ebay, and very good they have been too.
My father has a post-facelift W210 estate and needed to move some ladders, I said that I'd take my roof bars to him.
Now this morning, Mrs rpe2 needed the car to pick up a heap of stuff for baby rpe2, no problem, I took her car (a BMW!!), I then set off to see my parents.
Whilst there, I spent nearly 30 mins trying to get the rails attached, no joy :-((
It turns out that the pre/post facelift models have a slightly different profile in the roof rail that whilst hardly noticeable, meand that pre' roof bars won't fit a post' car.
Just thought I'd share a thoroughly irritating experience.
