General Roof bars

[Quiz]

Thanks for that Dick, I think they look better than the thule ones and worth the extra money.
The Fiat logo makes a difference too.
I have contacted my local dealer and they have a pair in stock for £105
I have reserved them for collection.

Forgot to mention...the side panel bits don't sit flush once installed so they add a bit of wind noise due to the very small gap left - not big, only enough to get your fingernail in but at speed this gets pronounced. Also, the Thule kit I think is closer to the roof so has less space (between bar and roof) and I think slightly quieter.

I don't really notice it to be honest, most of my driving with them on is done with music on at level 25+ so I don't hear much other than the music.

I like them, they do exactly what they are meant to do so I've no real complaints...just observations.

Thats interesting, are you saying that you prefer the look of the Thule bars?

No, but if it helps reduce the wind noise then they are a better design.
