Hi

I am looking for the roof rail install guide from LR, does anyone have a scan / pdf handy. The kit is in the post but I just want to have a read 1st before it arrives

Got it off TOPIx. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

thanks a huge amount !

used it to order the extra bits I needed like sealant and a 24mm drillbit

superb guide and clearer than the LR instructions ( ie does the last picture mean not put anything on the bars for 8hrs or not to leave anything on for >8hrs)

kit arrives next week

on a related note the LR guide states that the rear parts of the trim where the washes also fit must also be drilled. can I confirm if it really does or can you just sit the washers on top ?

last question - i suspect the question of "what are the best bars" has been done to death. can someone summarize ? for me low drag / easy to put on / take off are key. Which are the best bars ?

Q

The after-market kit has shouldered washers that you can face down to save cutting out the plastic. For me this is great so I can remove the roof rails and just put the blanks back in.
I would only have to replace the very front piece of trim if i were to remove the roof rails.

I have Thule cross rails which I have to say fit very well. top box has now got top spot.
had to remove again to get the car in the garage LOL Jaguar x-type sport gone

last question from me on this

the kit I have is a genuine LR kit from duckworths and it seems to have stepped washers, am i right that i dont need to drill the rear then ? the instructions seem to state I do need to but the washers in the kit are stepped ?
