Hi,

I have a 2008 Clubman that I bought slightly used, so unfortunately wasn't able to customize it with all the options I wanted in exchange for a good deal .

I think I could really benefit from roof rails- as I bike and ski, but like to easily take the crossbars off when I'm not using them. Is it possible to get roof-rails installed at the dealer? Or is this only something you can get with a new one?

Thanks,
Ethan

 

At last account - because the roof rails are bolted through the roof and are installed before the interior ie: side airbags, wiring, and other important stuff, are layered in - the dealer will not touch this project. The air bag system in particular would be a liability issue if something caused 'discovery' that the dealer removed / touched safety system components to install the rail system.

Use the 'Search' , There is at least one big thread on this topic. Probably in the Clubman forum.

 

Ah- thanks. Appreciate the response and apologize for any thread redundancy.

icedub,

Your only real good option is to get the OEM Roof Rack.
