Hey all,
Looking to add some roof racks to support two adult bikes (kids bikes are on the tow hitch).
I would like to keep it pretty streamlined.
What are people using?
Thanks

Thanks.
It appears I need the rails as well.
Hi
I’ve jut fitted some rhino racks recently without the rails. Code is Vortex 2500 Black.
They look ok but rails would be the go. To buy the rails it’s about $1200 and 200-300 for cross bars from the dealer! My way only $370!

I recently bought a set of non-genuine rails off ebay which are a lot cheaper than the Dealer ones. Silver Roof Rails Suitable For LAND ROVER DISCOVERY Sport 2015-2017 | eBay
The fit and finish of the rails seems fine. Too early to tell how they go long term.
I have LR roof rails but decided to go with Thule bars that extend beyond the rails to get extra cross bar length. Don't do it!
Wind noise is a major issue to the point where I've taken them off and won't re-fit them. The Thule bars have a strap that goes under the rails.
On my FL2 I had Thule bars that clamp in to the door openings with a pad on the roof. Not as noisy but still make some noise. The problem with them is that the spacing is restricted by having to clamp to the door openings. Probably doesn't matter for bikes.
I've seen another car with Thule bars on the LR rails that looked as though they were transferred from another car. They clamped onto the rails but the clamp was a different profile to the rail. Seemed solid enough but they may have the noise problem.
Hi
