I have OE wing profile cross bars( actually they are Thule Aeroblade Edge), latest Thule Wingbar EVO 53” on Thule 450R feet for Xc70’s raised rails, and even a Thule 38” Airscreen.
After spending all those $$$ for experiments, I recommend OE wing profile bars like the video shows for being the quietest bars you can get.
I prefer the style of the load carriers that you have as they don't protrude sideways beyond the roof rails so look much better. Looks like a great option for carrying long items without the hassle of folding seats and it enables unrestricted use of the cargo area. Thanks for your video.
I just finished installing my load bars and I can add that they work beautifully with the Thule T-track system.
I didn't install the rubber track cover, I'm afraid it will whistle at speed.
so happy to see MB plates... love my V70
Also, if you compare these load bars to the Thule Aeroblade Edge, the Volvo bars have a much higher arch. Mounting an upright bicycle carrier to one side results in the bicycle leaning significantly to that side. It is probably possible to correct the lean by adding a thicker mounting bracket to the lower side where the bicycle carrier mounts to the load bar. The Thule bars look very similar but have less arch and have optional locks - but they do cost much more.
Great video and very helpful. I've just managed to purchase a bargain used pair privately via Facebook sales in the UK for £47.00 including the postage. They need a little cleaning due to being attached together with very sticky brown packing tape. I'll be following your guidance and hopefully get them fitted to my 2015 XC70 over the weekend.👍
You XC70 looks cool. Thanks for your videos.
Easy when you see how. Great video. Thank you.
Have them also.... they look great. You are only missing 18” rims. I am selling MERACS.
Was on the fence about buying these now I will
Note: the screw driver can be replaced by a small torque wrench and a security Torx bit. TH25 or TH30 not so sure about size. That way you can use also usual garage tools and don't nee a specific tool ;)
Can anybody confirm what exact size of Torx bit fits?

Nice... Thank you for your videos and explaining how it works. 👍
My volvo xc70 also has the spoiler of the boot. When I load the surf paddle boards on the roof I can not open the back door because it hits the aleron. Even so the roof bars are very nice in the volvo and are also aerodynamic I do not hear noise.
I notice that the bars are not level but have an arch. Do you have any issues stacking the paddleboards?
I have just buy that. Shall install tomorrow 🙂
Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience with the load carriers!
What is the length of each bar?
I really like the look of your volvo! :)
Thank you once again for your videos, they are always very welcome. I have seen in your trunk that you have a cigarette lighter type connection. Could you ever explain how to install one in our volvo xc70. Something so simple will be very grateful.
I will look into it. Thx
👌
It was one of the options

I have no problem. My boards are inflatable, they adapt well. The only problem is that with the tailgate spoiler I can't open it.
Здравствуйте. А нет у вас видео монтажа самих рейлингов?
Great looking bars.. compliment your stunning Volvo ;) Those bars are pretty pricey though here in the UK :(
I noticed you advised the viewers to not open the tailgate from the remote. I believe if you hold the tailgate button on the remote and then quickly press it again when the desired opening level is reached, the tailgate will stop and be put in manual mode. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I would just pull the lever on the tailgate quickly twice which activates manual opening of it. This is more safe then using the remote. Pulling once opens the tailgate automatically. Pulling quickly twice will operate the tailgate manually.
Ciao ! Ho le stesse portapacchi, Original pero non so quale porta pacchi si adatta alla largeza delle traversali
I wonder if they would fit 05 - 07 XC 70? Great video. Your car is completed👏👏👏😁
It should as they got horizontal adjustment. In fact those are Thule model Wing Bar Edge supplied for Volvo as OEM accessory.
Has anyone successfully powder coated these ? My XC70 is black and would like to color match them black
Congrats!
I'd like to see a xenon conversion
Дружище, был бы крайне признателен за видео по демонтажу самих продольных перил. Там какие-то хитрые клипсы или защёлки, никак не могу с ними справиться...
Could you confirm to me that sizes difference between front and rear ? I bought them used to someone who's telling me they're both the same size. But those 2 of 92cm alliminium lenght don't fit on the rear side... I'm telling him he s wrong and my only source is your video :').
Are you able to put a lock on these? Thank you
Very helpful
I have the same load bars. I have tried to find key-operated locks that fit in place of the the plastic locks that turn with a screwdriver. It appears that it is intended to be possible to use locks that are similar to Thule products but the hole is a smaller diameter than the Thule cylinders. Are you aware of locks available from Volvo or elsewhere?
Noticed you revert back your digital instrument cluster?
I did. It had glitches. Also removed the TFT videos.
volvosweden oh. What glitches were you facing?
The odometer was fluctuating. Periodic cluster reset while driving.
volvosweden Thank you for sharing! There are many people wondering about the upgrade here in Singapore.
Too bad! Thanks for making those videos and trying though!
If you were ever to sell your car on and put it on eBay, you will probably get double the market value :)
I have already thought about it! But new Volvo will be double what I will get for mine ;)
The new V90 sure is slick. In general, some do it for the journey and not so much for the final destination. When you run out of projects to do on the XC70 you can either move on to another car or simply enjoy your picture-perfect XC70!
Doesn't it scratch the car rails?
Maby you can install wind reflectors or wind screens, to the side windows on the volvo?
Well. Not in my plans
I have the same P3 XC70 and picked up a pair of these carriers but they are both too long for the rear position. The metal aerobar part on each is approx. 36.25" /918mm. Is the rear bar shorter on your set? I wonder if I can disassemble and cut the bar shorter and if so what is the correct length?
Nice!
Are you able to put a lock on these?
Thanks so much for this video. The instructions that came with the xc70 load carriers weren’t very helpful.
People, please tell me, who knows if this Load Carriers is suitable only for Volvo XC70 from 2007 onwards or for previous models as well? I am not interested in what the Catalog says, but in actual operating experience.
No, 2007 roof rails are parallel whereas 2008 and up roof rails tapers toward the rear
Great video as always! I wanted to ask you if you could make a video, how to order a part from volvo website? By the way which website do you order from?
Not online. Volvo dealer in my city.
To bad the rails are not the metal ones especially since you have the lower rocker arm protector
Yes and no. The rocker protector is extra.
Your roof rack would look so much better if the rails were the silver to match the cross bar s
It would. Its factory black on XC. Silver on V70
are you russian american that love Sweden? :)
Ohhh, I just took mine off, didn’t like them...just my opinion
