I would be interested to know the difference roof to top of roof bars for the D5 and D4 with factory roof rails and roof bars as the gap looks similar to be honest
Just been out and snapped these the bars ride just above the open sun roof. i couldn't find anything to measure with
but my iPhone 7 JUST fits under the bars on its side probably with 5mm spare.

This is what you get with the sunroof open...
Click image to enlarge
I just don't get why they have designed them like that it just looks ridiculous
They could almost go straight across from the bars and still clear the sunroof. I'd be interested to hear what its like with a roof box on theres one heck of a gap for wind between the two.

D5 with box vs D4 with Box, the box just clears the shark fin on the D4.

New Thule Roofbars
I've just seen that Thule started offering Crossbars for the Disco5
https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/roof-rack/car-racks
The price is similar to the original ones, I just can't see if they are much lower in overall height when mounted. -

Cant see any dimensions but if the Pic is representative they look lower and more like the D3/4 design

They certainly seem to blend in well with the dark background

I've put the D2 feet back on, they grab the rails and fit perfectly in any position on the D5 rails
Would you mind posting a pic of how these look?
still can't get the D5 Thule kits in the US, may have to import from UK.

Does anyone know if any other JLR vehicle has roof rails like on the D5?
Andy,
The Full Fat Range Rover (L405) has the same set up, although the bars themselves look more like the OEM bars on the D4.
More roof bar positions, rather than the two fixed positions, would be very useful.
I wonder if anyone's going to be brave enough to drill extra holes in the rails and then shorten the bars if/as necessary (looking at the manual for the FF's bars, there a little room for adjustment as standard, but it looks like it might be possible to remove the fittings from the ends of the bars and hacksaw a short section off!
