Rola Vortex trays are the perfect size, and also look the goods. My brother in law has one on his..

If you put any weight to speak of on the roof of a sierra it WILL crack the a pillars.

Coilers may be better in this regard with the smooth cowl, but I don't think I'd do it.

I am not sure on the prices, I had the whole lot supplied & fitted for free. I think REPCO have been advertising the baskets for sale in one of their cattledogs.
