Roof Bars for 75 Saloon
Hi,
I need to fit some Roof Bars to my 75 Saloon to carry a couple of Kayaks on. Has anyone fitted the cheaper universal type or is it only the Thule or genuine that really fit/work ?. Or does anyone by any chance have some complete ready to fit they would sell and post. Cheers |

My son has some roof bars that he used to put the roof box onto the Rover 75 KV6 I now own. He asked me the other day if I wanted them. I can get in touch with him and ask if he wants to sell them. They are a good set not cheap rubbish. I think he said he might put them up for £70 . Drop me an email if you are interested.

Does anyone know why the Saloon is fitted with 4x fixing points for roof bars but Thule quote (754+7124+1154 part numbers), which is basically generic setup for cars without fixing points.... ?
And I quote Thule 754 Foot Pack A Thule 754 foot pack is combined with a vehicle-specific fitting kit to enable the roof bars to be fitted to a car with a normal roof that does not have fixed points or roof rails. |

The fitting kit fixes the roof bars by clamping to the roof inside the door opening. Used Thule for years and they have never damaged the paint or come lose macafee2 |

I bought a Thule set and find them really easy. Once set up you can have them on in minutes. I marked the positions next to the door seals with a dot so I don't have to measure each time. The rubberised feet leave no marks and grip well. Thumbs up for Thule from me. They can be left assembled too.
