Babelman Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 got a set this morning, does not say if they will fit galaxy/Alhambra etc. Took a gamble only Quote
sparky Paul Posted October 17, 2011 Report Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Yes, it's worth knowing if they fit for £30. They look okay from the pics, I assume they have the proper pincer clamps onto the roof rails. I had a set of very cheap 'universal' ones for the Galaxy and they were absolute garbage - each leg was clamped onto the rails with two long bolts and nuts, making it a right performance to fit and remove. Lockable plastic covers on each end made them look like real roofbars. I only used them once and bought a pair of secondhand Ford ones. I notice Lidl also have the good screenwash in again which goes down to -60°C... last winter, neat cheap screenwash froze solid here. Edited October 17, 2011 by sparky Paul Quote

Keithb Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 Not such a good fit on my 2003 Galaxy. The back bar is ok but the front needs to be another inch longer. Also the only thing that stops the bars coming out from the rail fixing is the plastic stop end - which came off easily.Anyone want a pair of slightly used roof bars in the East Dorset area?
