I used roofbox.co.uk who advertise on this site and give a discount to UKCS members - great service, best price I could find for new bars, and great range of products - have a look and give them a go.  My view was if I am putting a box on my roof I want to make sure it stays there - dont scrimp on things like quality when it is the safety of you and others on the line

Hi there,

have to agree with Paul about quality.

We bought some bars about 4 years ago for £60 saving me some money:)

2 years later they were gone, got some Thule ones of Ebay very safe,quick and easier to use unlike the others.

Learnt the hard way

I got Thule rapid fit (a bit misnamed) for mine,but ended up getting the bars,footpack and fitting kit from separate places. I went to the Thule site first to get the part numbers,then searched online. Ended up getting the footpack and kit from ebay,and the bars from a ski shop,and saved about £25.
