David said:I asked the local Volvo dealership (my family has a 2002 V70), and they told me not to, that it was just on the verge of being too heavy and not worth the risk. I wish I was able to, i'd be able to go to a lot more regattas if I could cartop my boat

WestCoast said:See people do it all the time. Get a good aftermarket rack as mentioned above and throw it on top of that volvo.
Yep. It´s a Ford Escort Turnier 1,8 Diesel from 1994. It has no rain-gutters and no rails on the roof. Cartopping the Laser on such a car works with a special rack from Ford where the beams are screwed to the ""A"-pillar"-area of the car.JacksonAUS said:If you do a search you'll also find a lot of tips; like how to mount your Laser onto the roof single-handedly.
I don't think you'll have any problems cartopping on a Volvo, as long as your roof-racks can hold the weight. Looserlu has no problems cartopping with his little car which is a Ford Laser, or something similar.
