    Roof rail design as D4?

    Has anyone seen what the roof rail design is like and how it compares to the D4?

    I ask as I collect mine in 10 days and won't have time to make new roof bar feet before heading out to the Bad Kissingen show and would love to be able to take RTT and foxwing.

    Any help appreciated Thumbs Up

    The D4 bars will not fit so you are going to need to change something I'm afraid. I had a quick look at my dealers when ordering, it looks like the rails are not tracks like on the D4. The landrover bars add significant height to the car too:

    I have a light bar mounted on Thule bars. Originally on D2 (feet grabbed rails), changed feet for D3/4.
    These will definitely not fit, but replaced D2 feet and fit rails fine.

    Ooooooh that is interesting, nice one.

    Been looking into it further and from the best image I've found, could it be the 13MY Range Rover / 14MY Sport roof bar design?

    I've got the roof rails and new bars. They only fit in 2 positions and aren't like the old ones at all.

    Quite a robust design and no wind noice to speak of. But with a large roof box, it can only go in 1 position then you're reliant on any adjustment the roof box has as to where the bars can go. Mine sits quite far back and the tailgate hits it when opening (see my post about how you can set the height on tailgate opening on tips and tricks...)

    Thanks, sounds like it isn't going to work, not easily or indeed cheaply anyway Big Cry

    Might have to resort to ground tent Embarassed
