Get the LWB ones and cut to size with an angle grinder, you can fill the length of the roof then and if you feel the need fit some spotlights right at the front above the windscreen :augie

Those look good, will need to try and find myself a set now.

Does anyone know what the max load is for the roof?

I've just removed and sold mine off my swb so yes they do exist.



I've fitted a roof rack modified off a Berlingo.


Much better :thumb2

You say cut to size with a grinder, so i presume the feet are easly removed from the bar then?

euw, no
I think we're all on about Nissan LWB rails , not some other ones !
Those may not fit the curvature of the roof :nenau

I have a set of SWB ones if you need them, Rick

I can get you a set of LWB one's if you want?
Nissan Thule ones, you can cut to size then :thumb2

Joda said he found some locally to him, he's probably busy with the angle grinder as we type:thumb2

Hi,

Sorry for the delay! I managed to get a set of commercial roof bars from a berlingo! Will post photos when i get them fitted!

Where is the best place to fit them ? [on the roof!!]

Had a look, but cant see any pre marled holes for fitment, is there already reinforcement in the roof?

 

[SNH]

Nope just drill the roof. The standard swb ones on mine where fitted with some sort of round nut fixed into the roof.
I fitted alloy spreader plates when I fitted the Berlingo rack as they bend to shape rather than bend the roof.

they need to go on the specific places that the standard bars go as they pick up the reinforcing under, to gain the max 50kg per bar load they need to be fixed to these reinforcement points with spacers up to the roof so that the roof takes little or no load, Rick

Rick,

I fitted them lastnight, i drilled through the cross bars that are screwed and bonded into place, with the tent fitted it all seems pretty solid, will get some photos tonight!

Thanks guys!!
