What are the factory roof bars for???

Ghianightmare · Jul 18, 2014

I have a 2004 Disco 2 Es Premium. It has the large tube type roof bars. I have no idea what they are for apat from holding on to when washing the roof... Can anyone shed some light please? Is there cross bars that fit on to the tubes?

Thanks

They are skids for the snow. Just turn the disco upside down with the reverse gravity switch (next to the 3rd dimension button) and away you go

When the Germans had their iron in the land rover fire, they decided that roof bars would be a good idea for carrying skis....

i thought tata added them so they can increase the amount of passengers you can carry.

Cheeky beggar!

It's actually the hole where the roof light bar bolts down.

Are they a factory fit? Reckon there must be summit similar to what i posted that will fit.

Roof bars, just a disco 1&2 design thing. Something I've never needed, my unused cross bars are in a bag along with the jack handle are under my back seat been there for nearly 16 years, I should sell they them on e.bay as vintage.

Never understood why they never made them full length, then decided to sell rear extensions as an extra.

Could've been to make a bit more money.

I could really do with the rear extensions so I can fit some properly spaced ladder racks instead of the huge tall unsightly things that fix to the gutters.

just got a set from someone on another forum expensive but cheaper and imho look better than gutter mounted racks and don't mangle your gutters.

I think they are there to make the crap looking roof shape slightly better

i can pick em up from a scrap yard for £40 its just bloody fitting them that sucks!

the roof bars are for cross bars to be attached to. for carrying a ladder ect. or for attaching a roof box. if you do buy some be carefull as it would seem you have the thicker roof bars which are not so common as the thinner ones usually fitted.

What are the factory roof bars for???
