Roof bars and box?

Hi Guys,

Anyone fitted roof bars and/or box to their hatch? If so, what make did you go for and how well do they fit, price, supplier, etc?

TIA, Neil.

Hi Mate

Actually been looking at these myself as camping/airport runs are becomming a struggle with just a boot and my daugthers increasing numbers of toys, not to mention bikes sand scooters!!

What I have found is:

OE bars are a lot of money, over £200 IIRC but have been told Legacy bars should fit so if you can find some cheap on ebay it opens up your possibilities.

Thule seem to make the best bars are are about £125 for bars (aero), link below but the fitting guide seems to be down at the moment.

Box wise, again Thule see the best and I am going to get this baby.

Compresses down when not in use and even folds away into a small bag that fits in the boot so you can take it off when you get to your destination.

Only thing I cannot find is a wind deflector, seems they do not sell them in the uk, even contacted Thule direct, only option in import from the US but makes them expensive.

Check out below link on NASIOC, some fab looking hatches with bars and boxes, however with all things stateside is a massove thread!!

You must be phsycic, just bought the Thule ones. Come round any time and try them, even better borrow them any time you like.
