Yes, the stealers in Sheffield fitted them?

I purchased the rails from Andrew @ Lookers, the site sponsor.

So the rails are supposed to be flush??? Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

nother crap stealer

Never noticed it before but just checked my rails and the nearside rear mounting is similar to yours ie the plastic end cover is not flush to the black mounting plate on the roof, the offside rear is flush though.
But having said that I get no wind noise at all, and rails have been on for 18 months without problem (I think it's just a dodgy plastic moulding ).
If your getting wind noise though there could be a problem somewhere.

Yes a nice flush fit.....

The quality of workmanship in every industry is getting worse..

People have no pride any more.

Can you believe the chap that fitted them thought this was
acceptable, and you got a bill for it.

Strange are some peoples views - like to jibe others but don't like it in return lol

That emblem has been around for nearly 5 years so is old hat.

Makes me wonder why some bought a Landrover really if they take the out of British products & wasn't long ago that they were all under the same umbrella! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

Mine are similar (wind noise from 60 - 70mph). Also dealer fitted. The plastic covers don't fit flush. I was considering filling the gaps with silicone sealant to see if that helps. It's already been back to have the vibration fitting the rails caused fixed.

You can get the plastic trim to fit flush - it's just a matter of due diligence when putting all the elements together. That takes a slow and dedicated approach.

I doubt that LR dealers put their best workshop man/woman on this job; rather it will be the apprentice under the careful supervision of him or herself whilst dreaming about embroidery

That's what I think. When I took it back I was told there were 'fittings issues' and they ordered a new kit. Hmmm. Come to think of it I'm sure I saw new plastic covers for sale somewhere as well. I'll investigate that too.

SOH failure - Jibe away mate

Well its going back in the moro morning or Friday.

Called the stealer, and they will take a look at it!!!

He did state on the phone that there will be whistling noise from the roof rails though.....hmmmmm!

I did see another one yesterday in supermarket carpark, with the same gaps at the back as mine!

But i want it to fit flush, its just looks a bad finnish at the mo!

 Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

some have used black silicon to fill the holes, crude but effective  At work

I agree with CG if you cant get it sorted.

But they shouldn't make a noise

The roof rails should, infact must fit flush, mine do....

My local dealer ( Guy Salmon, Wakefield ) pointed out
a possible safety issue if not fitted correctly.

All the FL2's I've seen with roof rails fit as mine do, sod
filling the gap with filler.
