2007 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Zermatt Silver

Roof rails / bars

Just been quoted £635 from a main dealer, to have roof rails and bars fitted to my FL2

Is this right? seems very expensive, I can get the rails for £262

I don't want to fit them myself, can anyone recommend anywhere I could get this done?

Thanks,

if you buy genuine LR roof rails, then speak to your dealer service dept regards fitting them, i did with some side tubes, and saved lots

they shouldn't fit aftermarket parts, so if the ones you saw are, then speak with your local LR Specialist Garage Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks,

i fitted mine myself - really easy

watch the videos from powerfuluk on youtube and you are all set

you need a helper but its a really satisfying job

as for specialist tools you only need some tiger seal, 22mm wrench ( from memory) and a 10mm drill and some allen keys ( torque wrench and a snake tool for removing the pine cones could be handy)

do it yourself then you know its done right
