Hey Everybody,
Just wanted to see if anyone out there has gotten some aftermarket roof racks for an MD Mondeo Hatch with the full glass roof? Reason I ask is that from most diagrams, most aftermarket roof racks tend to have their feet resting on the glass portion of the roof rather than on the pillars as per the genuine ford ones for sale. My main concern is the pressure subjected from the feet of the roof racks may cause the glass to crack. My main use for the roof racks is to transport my two bikes so will be subject to approx 30kg's of weight. |

That's a very interesting question - hope someone can share an answer. I also have a Titanium, and would love to swap that glass for a proper sunroof.
I have been told that the glass is very very very expensive, so don't break it! |

Rhino rack seem like a good mob for ensuring their products will fit the intended car. Their fit my car tool doesn't go specifically into roof type, but there's a couple of fit kit options.

I can't find anything which specifically mentions support for the glass roof, but I did do some searching and found out about a class action against Ford who are being accused of knowingly selling panoramic roofs that are known to spontaneously shatter whilst the vehicle is stationary or moving. Yikes!
