Nissan X-Trail HYPER roof Rails or Not?

aatish · 31st March 2009, 08:07

Hi Guys,

I just picked a Used Nissan X-trail 2005, was wondering if there is anybody out there with a x-trail haveing the hyper roof rails. Need an opinion what looks better, with or without I have added pictures for reference, the one with the fog light on top is the hyper roof rail. Any takes on getting a sun roof installed (original x-trail). Please note that my X-trail is the older one the one in the smaller picture.

thanks

I don't have an X-Trail, but prefer the look without the hyper rails. And I wouldn't recommend getting a sunroof either. IMHO the sunroof is best installed at the factory level.

Congrats on the buy! The X-trail has a cracker of a diesel engine. How about a review once you've covered 1000kms?

Thanks, Yes review is a sure do, need to fix her a bit and then i'll be leaving my first 1000km Trail ;-)

Is it 7L or 17L. If its 7L, then its pretty low!!!

BTW, how is the after sales service from Nissan?? are the spares priced roof high??

Hey Guys!

As a X Trail owner I can vouch that its a fantastic vehicle. I have a 3 Year Old Car bought new in March 2006. Just completed 50,000km, Fantastic engine, only issue I have with it is that the interior is very basic. Bombay has only one After Service guy, and yes the spares are expensive.

Yes it is 7 not 17 :-), KKR2K2, ab500 we should meet up I travel to Mumbai very often have a flat in Bandra. Would be nice to hook up with another x-trail owner. We are not easy to find like the CRV's and the Endaevours.

Will be posting pics need to do a small touch up job to the doors which is in progress.

You are one lucky man, i should say or the resale value went down drastically. Last year my cousin sold his X-trail for 19L. It was a 2006 model. He bought a tavera and an innova with that money!!!

Aatish & KKr2k2 post some pictures please.
