250 Shooting Brake Wanted

[John Laidlaw]

Woo Hoo.
I'm now the very proud owner of a CLA Shooting Brake in gorgeous red [fireworks fireworks fireworks].

BUT
I now need roof rails for putting ladders on (I'm a window cleaner).
I bought roof bars and have just realised they're not what I need.

Does anyone know which roof rails to go for?


Jonny.

Check out Thule...well done by the way!

Does this only fit the estates. Was looking for something for my saloon.

Jupiter Red I think.
I've already spoken to Merc owners regarding their red paint and it seems it was older cars thst suffered from blistering paint.

I'm pretty sure the lugs will be situatetd in the same position on both saloon and S.W's. It was with my Alfa Sportwagon and the saloon.

Thule is a modular system. If you get the Wing bar then the foot kit you can change the foot kit with each car. The Edge bars limit your re-use. Also on my GLE the Edge bars that sit in between the roof rails would prevent the front part of the pano roof opening. Worth checking as you have a pano roof too!!

Look on Gumtree. I got a set of Wing Bars for £50 brand new in box. Tredz.co.uk often have price match for the foot kit and have 10% off vouchers. Bought the foot kit from them.

Both of them carry the note about the sunroof. Buyer beware

When you select the car it asks you if you have a sunroof

Thanks all, I didn't read the descriptions, apologies. I am looking for something that can take my cycles on. I am not going to start loading in the back, I always damage something.

I bought a bike rack for the roof from eBay a couple of years ago and it sat and sat and sat.
One day my wife asked "Who's car are we gona put the bike rack on?"
(My wife has a 1 Series Convertible) [Shakes head]
And we've still not used the rack.
