There are special fittings for the LR roof rails for cars with Pano Roof, then you need cross bars and a roof box.............. ££££££££'s. I had the LR rails, crossbars and the roof box for my Evoques, I had never driven a car with a roof box before and even on the Evoques the only way I knew that it was on the roof was because I could see it through the panoramic roof, it was so quiet even at high speeds and I didn't notice any increased fuel consumption. My set up was all LR bits and the roof rails were fitted by the dealership as I felt it would be better for them to "cock" up and break the glass or drop something and scratch it rather than me do it at home. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Use a box a lot and I'm afraid it's a pain (as well as expensive, noisy and worse fuel economy).

Sounds a pain as I thought it might be.

I use a roof box regularly on my RRS (e.g for a 3 week, 6,000 km road-trip across Europe last summer, which we will repeat this year) and find it not too big a hassle.

New owner with a question. I don't have roof rails and see there are plenty available on flee bay , and they look easy to install. First question:- Are they easy to install?
