panoramic sunroof roof bars

Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the right direction to some aftermarket roof bars for a F2 08 with the large sunroof? I can find plenty for models without the sunroof. Thanks in anticipation A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

Thule do some for both sunroof and non-sunroof cars.
You need to buy a set of feet and cross bars.
Various options are available - I got mine from www.roofbox.co.uk and they take about 5-10 minutes to fit and remove and I've used them for both ski racks and a roof box with no issues and can still open the sunroof.

Can't recall the exact model numbers but a search on here will come up with them as will inputting the vehicle into the roofbox search function.

Thanks for the reply, but I realise I wasnt specific enough. I mean the fore and aft bars as well as cross bars (gutter rails?) A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

This is probably not what you mean, but as rchrdleigh said an alternative (probably much cheaper too) is that you could get the thule cross bars (they fit on and off in 2mins, it's really simple). I'm pretty sure they're the same as the LR cross bars that go onto the LR roof rails ones.

From then on you can fit anything "thule" that you want on them, from a roof box to a ski rack. You could even use fastener straps to fasten cargo to them.

Here are pics of mine. I have an 08' SE Canadian spec with the panoramic sunroof.

Oh I see, they fit without the roof rails. I`ll look into that, many thanks both of you guys. A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

Also look at "Prorack Whispbar". Available now as a clamp-on similar to the Thule, but soon to be available as a semi permanent screw-on fit also. Search Prorack Whispbar on here for the full story.
