I need a bit more space for a trip to France this summer.

I have a few friends who would lend me their roof boxes, but when they see the width of the standard scenic roof bars, they all seem dubious that the clamps would be wide enough to fit round them!

Is this a problem, what have other renault owners done? The widtth of them is about 3 inches (approx)

Thanks

Wider clamps are available from Karrite if the boxes available have U type brackets.

You may have to drill four more holes to allow for the wider clamp.

The clamps are available from Halfords but I think they are to order for a cost of £12/15.

Renaults own roofbars to tend to wider than others.

Hi, could try contacting roofbox company for advice, the renault bars look like they may be produced by atera.

I have a Scenic too, with Renault roofbars.   They have a central track, like the Thule system, so you don't put a clamp around the edge of them, but slide what is basically a bolt with a (very roughly) 1.5cm square head, through the track.

I got the necessary bolts from roofbox.co.uk after phoning them for advice.   They were really helpful and knew exactly what I needed.

Thank you - I'll contact roofbox.co.uk to see if they can help. I can't really drill extra holes in the box if I'm only borrowing it!
