hi guys,
thinking about roof rails to carry a bike rack on my FL2 HSE my concern is the double glass roof, any issues/recommendations, i do have a tow bar but i also have a caravan which really limits the amount of tow bar racks i can get to fit when towing the caravan

cheers,

Does a normal set of roof bars fit a glazed roof? I have seen these on EBay and I have nothing to do with the seller. You could then shove a bike rack on them.

Mods. If I can't post a link please let me know and I'll delete it.

You can tow with a MaxxRaxx fitted. Good bit of kit, very solid.

I use a set of Prorack Whispbars on my HSE. No problem with the sunroof. Thule also do their versions. IIRC you do need to check for fitting to sunroof or non-sunroof cars. Do a search on here for Prorack and you will find a few threads about sunroof problems with certain fittings. Here's one: http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic11814.html Also, I believe the Prorack fittings have changed since mine were made. Check with the "The Roofbox Co" who are the suppliers.

Roof rails? Or roof bars?!

Rails go front to back along the sides of the roof, and bars go across.

I'm not being pedantic (honestly!), but it's down to preference.

I opted for rails and then bars, but others may differ. I have an HSE too and no probs with rails and bars.

If you have a sunroof you will need LR00220 rails.

True, the OP did refer to rails but in the context I believe he was referring to bars. The expensive route is certainly to fit fore & aft rails then fit bars to those. However, it is more than twice as expensive as fitting removable bars when needed.
Mind you, we don't "gave a HEE" as we both have HSEs (not to be a pedant, of course)

Dunkley...I have no idea what you are talking about..."gave a HEE"?!

Well spotted! That'll teach me...
