Thanks, LesMG MOTORS RESPONSE TO THE DVSA ABOUT THE ROOF RAILS ISSUE

Here is a copy of the reply they sent me and as a couple of you rightly said don’t hold your breath you couldn’t have been more right.

And that’s was it so yesterday I made a response to the DVSA directly copy below.
Thank you for your reply to my mail my question now is, has the manufacturer given any indication how long this process of dealing with this issue is going to take, as I must stress these vehicles which may still have an issue with SAFETY are still on our roads.
MG Motors have now obviously accepted the fact that there is a problem by saying, they are dealing with it, and this is not for the first time, them having already informed the dealers to tell owners they must not place any load on the roof rails as well as supposedly had to modifying their literature etc. Have they written to any current owners as I requested them to do in November last year with this directive? Word of mouth Simon is not reliable enough on safety issues in my opinion.
These vehicles are still on our roads and owners might still be unaware or forget about the issue, also the vehicles are still being sold with the same specifications and the same roof rails and putting more of them on our roads day after day.
Their response, and the departments acceptance of in my opinion is an open door for them to take as much time as they want, even up to whenever they decide to upgrade the model when ever that might be, this I must protest strongly is an unacceptable response, and the DVSA need to press them further with a date to address the problem, or issue a recall for the safety of all road users before there might be an incident on the highway.
Also I might just add if they did take so much time and even up to a newer model let’s say model 2, there is still going to be the first model let’s say model 1, the car on the roads today, which is now in the 2/3/4 hand of dealerships and or private sales which are still going to be on sale and still may be unsafe, I say again to MG fix or remove them now, and I call on you at the DVSA to say the same, you are after all the department responsible for the safety of vehicles on our roads please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong in this.
Thank you again for your reply and I hope the department will now reconsider the response made by the manufacturer of this vehicle, I await you reply.
Yours sincerely
Les Burrows

Is that the wife? Any more pictures?
It's the action of heavy braking, and whether it will come off in that case that is in question.....it's not a roof question.Just a thought but if the roof can't hold 50kg on it what happens if god forbid you roll the car onto it's roof, do you become a squashed tomato because that's putting alot more than 50kg on the roof
