Hello!

 

Looking at some options for my estate 2018.

 

Requirements - Would like to fit a roofbox AND a full sized bicycle alongside (road or MTB).

 

Therefore looking at a family sized box of approx 75 to 80cm wide, on a through roofbar such as Thule wingbar or Yakima whispbar.

 

Has anyone got this combo? If so what do you have?

 

Welcome other pics and specs of roofbar and roofbox combinations. Have used the search and found a broad range of set ups but not box and bike afaics.

 

Roofbox.co.UK recommending kamei 310 husky with Thule or whispbar it would appear. Cheaper options of steel bars also.

 

 Thanks

Thule

used them on every car, excellent pieces of kit

I have a kamei husky M as it's narrower than most. The narrow shape means it fits a bike carrier or two beside it. And we had it fitted to the Yakima whispbars.

Box it very smart looking.

Cannot say anything about bike, but I have Thule Wingbars + Thule Alpine Tourer as roof box for my Estate. Fully satisfied with both bars and box!

May be you need to have a close look to roof box wigth, so that it doesn’t get scratched by bike pedal, when you open it.

Reporting back after spending some money 😚 with roofbox.co.uk who were v helpful

can fit the box and the tyre hold carrier on the top no problems, then also had a 3 bike tow bar carrier if getting fully loaded up or a choice of either.

 

had a bit of trauma with deliveries which came via DX couriers.  Roof box turned up busted, forklift had speared the cardboard packaging and box - Kamei dont appear to do more than a big cardboard box, then a pretty thin foam sheet, then on the box a clear tape is on the gloss black lid - a bit flimsy really. So check over your deliveries very carefully.  Also the roof bike carrier, whilst seemingly packed well, the rear fascia of the carrier had suffered another impact / drop.

 

roofbox.co.uk were v helpful swapping out the box and offering a swap or a decent discount for the bike carrier.  recommended.

 

onwards to half term duties and more expected miles with the winter tyres now on...

Anyone with Thule Aerobars able to confirm if there's enough clearance to open the sunroof when fitted?

I recently bought these, they are great for the money (£64), look fantastic as they are low profile.

Don't have a sunroof, so don't know if they would work.

Yes. I have them on my 2018 MY19 Wagon/Estate/Combi and the sunroof clears them when open and when opening.

 

Images show from the side and then from the back, both with the sunroof open.
