Roof Bar Fixing Bolt

petez · 09-11-2024, 05:45 AM

Anyone know the bolt size for the roof bar fixing point on a 2023 G42 ?

They used to be M6 bolts on older models but I think they have changed them and they are now M7 (1.0 thread) ?

Thanks

M7 and they are HARD to find. They are used for some mountain bike brake part or something.
Are you trying to retrofit an older rack system or something. I had the bars for my F30 and they could be slightly modified to fit. Finding the bolts was an adventure. In the end I just bought the bars new that are made for the G42.
