I haven't, but note that the LR Accessory catalogue says the max payload for the roof carrier is 75kg. There are three kinds of LR Accessory roof boxes which would not seem long enough to overhang at the front or prevent normal operation of the tailgate, probably a safer bet, though not cheap.

I've done the calculations and it would seem to fit. Order placed.

Do you need step ladders to put stuff in them? It's a fair old height! |

I've even been used to it on the Disco 4 (which is even taller ) and yes, it's a bit of a pain, but possible

I've just fitted the Thule Motion XT XXL (the really big, current, one) and for anyone who's considering doing the same:

I picked up my snow chains from a Thule dealer (will post up pics of road trip to the alps soon) - they told me that i could fit a roofbox onto my car even though it doesnt have the roof rails?? Has anyone done this? Current

Thule themselves have told me that’s it’s not possible to fit the necessary roof bars to a roof without rails fitted. Apparently the angle at the edge of the roof is too shallow to get a conventional Thule roof foot pack and grip to work. I’ve never found any other manufacturer make anything either. The only option seems to be to fit the outrageously expensive OEM roof rails and bars.

Red Merle, I quite like the look of your Silver Roof Rails. I was thinking of putting black ones on mine, as it's Carpathian with a black contrast roof - but the silver on yours looks good 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |
