In that case it's probably a guard to stop the crap from falling off the roof onto the windscreen!!

i think its for the newer one...
 
though in theory it should be adaptable - it mounts to the gutters by the looks of things.
 
the high tops on the newer LT's are slighlty less high than the high tops on the older ones though - so the arms may also need lengthening.

would it not be easier to get something like one for the newer shape LT's and mod that?
 
it can't be THAT different, surely?

The roof rack that I have,  wouldn't cost much to be posted from Germany. I jumped on a plane to Germany and bought my van from there,  it was then driven back for the cost of £195 in diesel, flights (for two) was only £20, hotel £40, ferry £55. Total for the whole trip for two was only £500 (satnav set to miss all toll roads). Why not take trip over to Germany as a break and then you could pick up anything thats needed for our van.
