Thread: Roof bars

They look identical to the Rhino racks I have. Maybe a copy??

Yea I was thinking that also.

long as the plastic is good quality they should be OK.
Watch out for car parks.

I bought these:
Landrover Discovery 1 2 1992 2004 Adjustable Roof Racks | eBay

They appear to be a direct copy of Rhino Rack, i reckon even the Rhino accessories like shovel holder would fit.

I've got a roof top tent bolted to mine and they appear fine. We slept in it the other night with no dramas.

I've just discovered these roof bars caused a high pitch hum at 100km/h. You may want to consider a different brand.

IMHO all roof bars cause a hum at high speed except maybe proper aero bars which sit very low which is not really possible with a Disco, and even those cause some noise.

I found even the factory cross bars cause an increase in noise.

The fix is to fit them no further forward than the "B" pillar and this tends to reduce the noise that you hear.

I'm also in the market for some RoofBars but I want ones that will sit fairly close to the roof, not a mile high like some u see. These ones I think sit fairly high as well ?

The noise is probably from not having the rubber inserts along the bar ??

I agree anything on the roof will create more noise. But this was like an excessively loud sound effect. It was louder than the radio at normal listening volume.
