Rear rack removal

[putbinoot]

Hi All , got my T7 with i think the oem rear rack which im thinking of removing so soft luggage fits better over seat but just found out that the bolts they take out to fit the rack are £30 each, anyone come up with a solution for replacing them for something else or is it £120 . cheers

If it was dealer fitted they should give you the original bolts.

It was bought second hand, i think first owner fitted it.

You don't necessarily need the OEM bolts to make soft furniture work. You could create your own using some Hex bolts + washers + spacers + nuts. Ideally get a long enough Hex nut to fit the thread size and then use this configuration to give you the required bits to loop soft luggage like the stock bolts would. Would be way cheaper then the 30 per pop.
