Hi. We are very new to camper-vanning, but have just bought a Mazda Bongo. I also fly a hang glider. Normally this packs like a roll of carpet (14 foot long and weighing about 25kgs) and goes on the roof-bars. However to fit roof-bars would stop the roof popping-up.
I think I need something like brackets on the B and C pillars, to carry the glider level with the roof guttering. Does anyone either know of such things or have any better ideas please??????

Dear Kitesurfer,
Thank you for your obvious advice. I had not thought to google for a Bongo roof rack but have now bought one. It screws into 4 captive nuts in the pop-up bit, so lifts when you put the roof up. Thanks.
