Roof rails on Disco 5

[Bonino]

Has anyone fitted roof rails on a Disco 5 After taking delivery of the car? And if yes, did you do it yourselves, or at a LR dealership? How much did you pay?

It has been done before, see this (https://disco5.co.uk/forum/thread1900.html?highlight=roof+rail) post on Disco5.

Thanks. And today I saw a Disco with crossbars mounted without rails. The crossbars are the reason I want the roof rails, so I’m happy if I don’t need to spend the money on the rails. The issue is that I can’t find the bars anywhere online...

Righto - i installed the roof rails at the dealership and ordered the Rhino Rack crossbars

Hi there, just to clarify, do you need the rails to be able to mount roof racks?

I am also keen to find this out. Got a two week old Disco and just want the racks but without the rails!

For all the research I have done it seems at this stage rails are needed for racks. I plan on buying some Ebay specials and installing them. I hope to reuse the plastic roof trims, and cut them to suit, but we will see...
