So confused over roof bars

Sad Hi everyone

Can someone please explain all about roof bars/rails/t-rack? systems ( hope i've written that correctly! Rolling Eyes

I've bought a base model with just the strips in the roof

Is the guttering under here the 't-rack' system

I bought these Thule bars believing that they would bolt into this gutter rail but when i lift the plastic strips covering the gutters there doesn't seem to be any slots to fix them to? Shocked



Help!!!! what am I doing wrong here - do I need roof rails to go with the foot pack in the photo?

Sooooooooooooo Confused!! Crying or Very sad Big Cry

yep, the rails bolt into those nuts, then you cut the plastic trim to cover the bit the rails dont cover (its in the fitting instructions. Thumbs Up )

Cheers Bodsy but can seem to get that link to open at the moment even when I go into the site and go through the menu Sad

I suppose the question is can a layman fit them?

I'm not too sure of what "pop rivet" is Embarassed

But I didn't drill anything when mounting my rails Smile
Except the plastic trim when refitting them
 Best Regards

Speak to Nick Lee, Parts Manager at Yeovil Landrover. Great discounts if you tell him your a member here.

there are also longer extended roof rails, but not sure how available they are.
