Can any Renault owner help? Just bought a grand Scenic and it has 2 sunroofs, do I need to buy renault roof bars as all the other manufacturers say theirs will only fit cars without sunroof? I have heard the Renault ones are very wide and I will need a Renault roof box? I currently have an Altera Roof box so don't really want to buy another?

Help please!!

I had genuine renault roofbars and used a Karrite box . The bars are expensive but you can usually pick some up on ebay. The only hassle i had was that the roof bars are the aero type and the standard box brackets would not fit so I had to make some up.

Once the box was fitted to the rack we used to just lift the whole thing on and off box and bars together as there is only a single bolt that holds each corner to the car.

...Did you also know that replacing a headlight bulb is a "dealer only" thing?!   The joys of Renault.....

Thanks fort all your advice, Just got back from a weekend camping in Reeth had a good time but the weather could have better mitsty most of the time.

I called the roofbox company as they sold me the roof box. they said I need Renault bars and you're right they are cheaper. Will go with those and adapt the roof box mounting if necessary.

I had the same problem with my 07 scenic with panoramic roof.  I got Renault to fit the roof bars and got my roof box from Halfords.  All the roofbox websites say you cant fit them to vehicles with sunroof.  Also checked with renault and we are allowed 80kg on top of vehicle (including roofbox).

Thanks
