madspikes 41 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 I'm installing a xsara pas rack in the GTi. The xsara pas ram has a orange bag over it which has a number rips in it! Should I get another bag, or there a better cover for the ram? MAd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,540 Posted June 16, 2013 I cut the poxy bag off mine and threw it away. 205's and 309's use effectively the same ram with no cover at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madspikes 41 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 That was my idea, but thought it might be an MOT fail without it. Thanks Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cRaig 273 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 I enquired at the citroen garage when I was ordering boots etc for my vts rack, and apparently the ram protector only comes with a new ram, and isnt available as a seperate part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madspikes 41 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 My problem has been solved then! Orange bag in bin, and don't replace! Job done! Not what I was expecting, but question answered. Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzee stuff 33 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 Not looked at mine in any detail yet as I still got lots of other things to do first, but I did think about using a small rack gaiter or fork gaiter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipstick 382 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 I've seen people use rubble sacks cable tied on. Each 306/Xsara rack I've ever looked has had a torn cover which held water and crap so removing it completely can't be any worse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cRaig 273 1 Cars Posted June 16, 2013 I was planning to glue a rubber sheet into a tube and cable tie it on, but if its not needed, I might not bother! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzee stuff 33 1 Cars Posted June 17, 2013 A push Bike inner tube cut up may be a solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acox99 74 1 Cars Posted March 12, 2016 I've used a rack boot before and put holes in it to allow it to breath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffR 51 Posted March 14, 2016 Thanks JeffR - have you used any one in particular..? No I haven't. Subject came up on Aussiefrogs a while back so I thought I'd post it as a suggestion. A rack boot sounds promising though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
