Roof bars

Hi Guys,

I am looking to buy a Thule bike roof rack from a pal and wondered if any of you have such a thing fitted to your Mark II RX400H?  If so can you recommend roof bars to fit?

I assume you have the standard rails on your vehicle? If so then bars that clamp to the rails are readily available. e.g.

Thule do a number of different types, but are quite expensive. If you plan to keep the bars on all the time then it is worth getting the more aerodynamic ones to cut down on wind noise. e.g.

Thule kit is well worth the premium imo. And keep an eye on eBay, I picked up some Volvo branded Thule bars and a roof box for a fraction of the cost of new.

Thanks Colin and Richard for the replies received, the bike rack seller omitted to state that the rack INCLUDED the roof bars, so I'm quids in.  Got £450 worth of Thule equipment for £200.  Tip top condition and top of the range equipment, well pleased.
