Does anyone know how roof bars are fitted to. Ford Focus ST170? 3 door hatchback? We have just bought a box and bars but cannot work out how the bars attach at the back. Ford aren't able to tell us unless we purchase new bars from them at £124! Having already invested in a much larger tent we are reluctant to spend yet more money if the bars we have can be fitted. It seems all the information on line relates to 5 door cars

Do you know the make and model of the bars / feet you have bought?   I think there are three parts to the kit - the bars, the feet and the bit that joins them together.

Best to give Roofbox a call - they are very helpful (as I found out last week and got free replacement locks for our box) and if you need to purchase some part of the kit I think there's a 5% discount for UK Campsite members.

I think you will need a short roofline adapter kit, common on 3dr cars. If roof box can't help try halfrauds

I hope this helps you
