Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with inflatable roof bars and soft bags, such as this?:

I would imagine that if it rains the road muck and rain would get under them and seriously mark your paintwork, even terminally damage it if you went far enough..... just my 2p... Pete

Good point. I have the Panoramic roof, so that could also be a potential negative. |

I agree with Haylands - inflatable bars sound very dodgy and almost certain to damage paint.

I wouldn't want to be putting any weight directly onto the pano roof - surely that's just asking for trouble ? @Stan - love the inflatable & this needs moving to the L405 section |

I can’t find any that state they can be used with the Pano roof. Although that might be the manufacturers paranoia. |

Tsk! I would have hoped that a man of your Standing (see what I did there?) would have recognised that that is obviously an Ewok! Tsk indeed! Bish. 2005 110 TD5 CSW 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE (gone) |

I know Toby the owner of Handirack from previous business connections, I believe his product is the original, The product he supplies is of good quality compared with later copies & never had an issue with those that I retailed. However they are very limited as to what you can carry on them, it was really designed for occasional use or for an emergency measure to get something home from IKEA etc.

Would my standard roof bars fit this version? Does it come with TPMS? Mike |
