Oops! Aluminium roof rack vs. large tree = 1-0 to the tree  :lol: Done at Runhall last weekend. Should be able to get it reasonably straightened out.

It was either the rack or the roof if it wasn't there! I've belted the roof before and you can push it out with your hands. The rack is bit stronger. The whole thing as shifted to the right so it sits about 1" over at the back compared to the front!

I'll get the crow bar out tonight and see what happens when I apply 'a little pressure'  :lol:

Oops! Bet you wish you had a roof rack  :lol:

As for straightening the rack.... The crow bar didn't do it, so out with the high lift and a couple of bits of timber. It's not exactly straight, but better than it was.
