I would like to put some new roof stays in my car, and I know that either Chimera or Griffiths ones will fit.

But I cannot seem to find anyone who sells them. Does anyone on here know where I can get some?

Thanks
Louise

Hi Louise, Try Keith at Bell Hill Garage. Bought a set for about £80 a couple of months ago. Mailed him one day, delivered two days later! bellhillgarage@btconnect.com

I think you may have to drill new holes though as they are a longer length than standard?

Yep, slightly longer.

The knack it remove one, fit it at the top (on the header) and then get tension in the roof and drill a new hole and fit it to the parcel shelf bit.

The Griff/Chim stays are about an inch longer, so the old hole is nicely hidden from view.
