I know the difference between roof rails and roof bars - what I'm saying is that you can now buy from Thule a footpack No 750, bars 862 aero or 762 square and a FL2 specific fitting kit No 1443. These roof bars are a gutterless mount system and do not require the FL2 roof rails which will probably be LR stealer supply only (and made by Thule as ej said) and presumably extortionately priced. |

I spoke with LR customer Service yesterday - the guy on the phone said that they were having 'manufacturing problems' with the roof rails.

I ordered the Thule set JMMYM suggested. Total price around € 210. I do not have to wait for the roofrails up to July, which is good, as I will be on holiday by then

I spoke to the Parts man at my dealership today who phoned LR while I was there. The roof rails should be available in about three weeks. The part number will change and for those with a sun roof these will not fit. LR will be issuing a revised design (but not in kit form - you will have to buy various parts apparently) for these vehicles and they will need to go through engineering etc and will take some time... A bulletin will be issued to dealerships when each roof rail application becomes available. So looks like the prototypes were not properly developed across the range - they look nice in the brochures though |

This is bloody madness.....I cannot believ we are 7 months in and LR have only just established a design that works but only for solid roofs How long do us guys with sunroofs have to wait It is ing crazy. I can get all sorts of other useless for the car like my side pipes, lamp guards, aluminium sill trims body kits, spoilers and the like but the most of us want and used in the old FL1 days we can't get Whoever at LR put this as a non essential item needs sha!*ing with a rough handled broom....I have not been able to go anywhere with our bikes for six months which id a real pain in the butt. COME ON LAND ROVER READ THE FRIGGIN FORUMS AND GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY WANT.....a family vehicle that fits in with family life with roof bars that were in the bleedin brochure.....I'll have changed the sodding car before I get the roofbars |
