    Roof Bars

    Can anyone tell me what roof bars they use?

    I can get some Thule stuff sent over from the UK but can not seem to work out what I need.

    This is the site for Thule Thule FitGuide

    I have a 2006 multivan with the roof preparation rails.

    PLEASE help! I need to order the correct parts as it will be quite a while between ordering and finding out I have wrong parts.

    Thanks Rob

    HI Rob, I've got the same as The Bug. They are a great set of bars. Low noise and look good. I don't have the roof rails on my van however. Only the predrilled roof locating holes. The local rhino dealer here in Hobart was great and sold me everything I needed to make it work. I'd assume a dealer in Adelaide could do the same for you too.

    cheers

    Yep, the Rhino dealer in the city has a good range of the products, not just the Rhino, definitely worth a trip, Rob.

    Hi, Rob
    I was going to install roof racks on the Dual Cab but choose to go with a full alloy rack attached to the ladder racks and suspended above the roof.
    I had a quote from Roof Rack Superstore (Roof Racks, Roof carrier Systems, Roof boxes Melbourne | Roof Rack Super Store) in Mitcham Victoria for two Rhino Aero bars $368. I beleive you would need three.
    Hope this helps.

    I've got four Thule roof rails (commercial aero profile) but they are fitted to the hard points.
    The three slots in the profile (top, bottom & rear) make fitting brackets a breeze.

    The Thule fitment guide is pretty spot on.
