Roof bars

[Richard C]

Many years since I needed a roof rack & they are nothing like the ones of yesteryear I'm familiar with. I need to carry two sets of golf clubs up top, my Freelander is fitted with roof rails but I don’t have any cross bars. A friend with a Suzuki does have cross bars & after a cursory glance they look like they might be the same profile & the width of his bars looks adjustable. Before I go stripping them off the Suzuki, anyone know for sure if the rails are standard profile & will fit?

Most of them are adjustable but check that they are long enough first. They are not to expensive to buy.

You're planning to steal his roof bars?

The width across the rails using an "arms stretch tape measure" looks to be about the same so if the bar profile & fitting is universal, fingers crossed I may be OK so will try them out.

Thanks for the link; I know it's less than 40 quid but I'm loath to buy as I doubt I’m ever likely to need them again & my chaepskate mate is unlikely to chip in I'm also trading the Landy in soon anyway.

Many thanks Peter.
