You need the adaptor kit which is designed to attach the feet to the vehicle. To fit it you open all four doors and the bracket rests against the door surround. Once everything is tightened up it holds the roofbars in place and doesn't appear to damage to paintwork in anyway. The adaptor kit I mentioned is specific to the Freelander 2. |

No Problem with the LR roofrails, just make sure they order the correct model as they are specific to FL2 with sunroofs. I am looking into get some thule ones as they are cheaper and removeable, and I don't have to purchase both the rails and crossbars. |

Hooray 'another one', thats exactly what I said to the sales guy when I drove a Disco3....felt very vague!!! FL2 felt so crisp in comparison, so ended up buying the HSE FL2. Got the Landy roof rails as wanted them as a permanent fixture. My dealer fitted the 'non sunroof' bars, whislted like f k between 30 and 70mph which was really not annoying now got the sunroof version.........aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! piece and quite. Defkalion posted some good pictures just make sure the cross bar has a solid 'rib under the cross bar if you have sunroof, as the non sunroof models have three ribs across the length..........any comments about ribs and condoms will be ignored you lot!!!! |

Cheers for the photos, hope it didn't take you long, Going to place a order for them tomorrow, Cheaper than the FL2 roof bars. Now just need to choose a roof box that suits the FL2 |

I paid £105.00 for the feet, adaptor kit, locks, and standard bars plus a pack of tie down straps. The aerodynamic bars were about another £20 I think. |
