Thule edge roofbars

Post by XDRIVER86 » Sun Aug 30, 2015 12:43 am

Just a heads up for anyone wanting a set of roof bars. These thule ones sit low, don't look too out of place and are quiet. I use a roofbox quite a bit and have been watching these on amazon for a while, they have dropped the price from over £265 to £149.

I've only just ordered mine so will put a few pics up when I fit them.

I have them on my X6.  Very quiet.  You do have to be careful when the roof box is also on as it makes contact with the sunroof on 'tilt'.  I think the roof box I have is the same as in the pic.

I have the similar Wispbars fitted. I have the ones that don't protrude over the side like the Thules above.
They are so good, I simply leave them on permanently. The efffect on mpg/windnoise is negligible.
