Roof Bars

Do LR, Thule or similar sell a pair of cross bars that bolt directly on the roof mounts or do I need the front to back bars? Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Yes, LR do "Sports Bars" that fit directly to the fixing points under the flaps in the top finishing 'rail' and they fix without needing the flaps removed.

The Thule ones have a 'foot pack' which sits on the roof & has a thin piece which claps under the door aperture.

There a pro's 7 cons - the Thule bars are as wide as the car, whereas the LR ones are around 2/3 the width of the roof.....

It's just for 2 bikes, still toying with idea to be fair. Like Thule stuff but would prefer LR. Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I had Thule - but I had 4 bikes - the Thule bike racks lock onto the bars & the feet lock onto the car so all good Thumbs Up

I think the LR bars are wider, so would need some trimming for a Thule or other bike rack - could be wrong though....

Rhino Racks also do them. I used the feet off some L322 Rhino bars to fit a Rhino Pioneer Platform o mine (even though Rhino say they don't make a kit to fit a platform).

Thanks. Have you carried bikes on the roof. If yes; if I mount the bars on the rear and centre mounts does the tailgate catch on the bike racks?

I've had the LR bars but then went to the rhino rack. I've got to say the rhino rack is a much better system.

With regards the rear mounting points; do the bars bolt to these OK or just to the middle and front. I only ask as the roof aerial seems too tall and would obstruct the bars?

Like this;

If I remember correctly, there was a guy on here who sold three bars and pictured his car with all three in place a while back.

I believe the idea is that the front and middle are used so as not to impeded with the upper tailgate rather than the aerial being in the way.... the middle and rear could be used if that suits.

I think there is a reason why they can't be spaced or placed front and rear...... I believe the middle one (of the genuine LR) can only go in the middle being slightly wider than the front and back.

To have a front and rear would require an additional front from another set which is what this guy did.
