Hello !, I planned a ski holiday and want to take along own ski's. My dealer recommended to buy the roofrails, crossbars and ski carrier (which I can imagine for that price). Now I found a used pair but original RR crossbars on internet and seller told me he fitted the crossbars without the roofrail on his RRS HSE 2009 ?! Can anyone confirm ? Has there been a change in "railsystem" since modelyear 2010 ? Thanks in advance, Gilbert 3.0TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey, Almond premium, Diamond Turned Style 4

Using the mounting bolt holes you can apparently mount certain types of bars, but the genuine ones I think can only use the rails, I couldn't see how they could be bolted in.

Effectively to not use the rails you bolt the bars direct to the rail mounting points Mike

instead of a rails I have black strips fitted on the sides of the roof at wich I can't see any bolt holes, only 3 round plastic "buttons". I presume that these need to be taken out to uncover the bolt holes ? I doubt that one single fixingpoint will be enough when we attack the autobahn  3.0TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey, Almond premium, Diamond Turned Style 4

Bootneck its not a job its a way of life!

These are Great, but also the Thule, you can much easier fix, as these are clamped.
I know this, as i own Both and prefere the Thule as it is fixed in 3 minutes.

Thank's for the response and useful info. Apparently I should be able to directly fit the crossbars. Will make an appoinment now with seller and check if we can put them on "on site". Will post the result. Thank's again !

This post has been very useful

I have been thinking of roof bars but did not like the Thule foot pack and clamp method and did not want to fit roof rails - looks as though the bars on roofbox company site bolted to the roof fixings on my10 onwards will be ideal  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
