LR2 Roof Rack - Land Rover Forums

scoozer · #1 07-08-2010, 07:54 AM

Looking for a bit of help. I need to purchase a roof rack for my LR2 and wondered if I HAVE to get it through Land Rover? Do other roof racks work with this type of car?
Thanks

If you are looking for attached rail system, I would go through land rover. The last thing you want is a system that doesn't fit correctly and leaks into your roof, especially when people are drilling into your roof.

If you are fine with an attached system, Thule sells a rack that looks real nice, however is quite pricey. You can build the system on their website and then google the parts for cheaper. I think I was able to price out the whole system for under 400 including everything.

You need
- 480R Rapid Traverse Foot Pack ($430!)
- RB53 Rapid Aero Load Bar Pair (2 Pack)
- 872XT Fairing 44"

Just got my Thule 480R rack up and running, looks real clean without getting factory rails. Thing to note is the fairing will prevent you from using the sunroof (you can tilt however). The pads on the fairing are sticky and don't slide easily.

$430 with 20% sale at RacksforAll.com Sale had expired however they matched EMS's same sale.
