Hi, any one have any recommendations or tips for roof bars ?
Want to put 2 bikes on. I have a retractable sun roof .
Seen some on Powerfull web site but says not suitable for sunroofs
 
Seen few methods but not on L405.

One is to mount bike rack on tow bar which I m not sure an L405 would have?

This avoids problems with Sunroof/tailgates. But you have to take bikes off to get in the boot


Other is a rack that sits on normal bars across & above the sunroof so it’s up out the way.

Both available as genuine LR parts but obviously very very expensive
 
I'd go for the towbar bike racks, try are miles better now than ever. :)

It also removes any worries about forgetting they're up there. Lots of car parks with a metal chain/bar to stop anything high going in. Not quite the same but, many years ago, I broke the antenna on my Dad's Volvo , by driving into one of those car parks. Forgot the antenna came out quite high. :oops:

How's things gold? How's your rr getting on, did you get to the end of the key issue? I may be behind on this matter.. ;)

I did that. I had an L322 for two weeks and took the roof nearly off driving into the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. We had to let all the air from the tyres and have 8 people sitting in the car to get it free, I was in tears.

I almost got caught at one of the hospitals, can't remember which one, just know it was one of the private ones. I was directed to the covered car park, drove towards it, and then thought 'ehhh maybe not'. It must've been only a couple of inches too low and I'm sure they'll have caught out others.

I'm ok thanks Mark. Just busy with lambing , etc.
Still got the key issue. She's booked in for middle of May, to sort the issues they didn't sort last year, fix the trim they didn't put back properly, and look at a couple of other things. Oh and find out why the stereo isn't going to sleep. Other than that the Golden Girl is doing ok. She's still getting admiring looks and comments at 19yrs old! Can't be bad :)
How are things with yourself?
