Roof boxes

I made a hoist into the roof of the garage. With a rope that goes around it.
Nice idea :)
The main thing with roof boxes is the difference between mounting location of the foot/bar and the separation supported by the roof box itself
All I've seen about these thule motions is the slide track the mounting points are on so fingers crossed it's all nice and smooth.

Edit. Deleted. Wrong Nick :D Hi @Nick1881

Edit again: Found the keys, ordered some black thule edge bars with matching locks. Sorted!
Bars arrived and have now been assembled

Will put them and the box on the car tomorrow if I get a chance, see how they fit :)
 
After nearly a year I finally got to put it to use :D

Don't like being limited to 82mph but hey ho, very functional and completely changed the loading car routine. Took the double buggy, bed guards, kids beach stuff, all the awkward shaped stuff. Decent.
 
Oh ****, I meant 70mph - damn autocorrect

That was a two night trip in the UK... 1 suitcase full of nappies and baby food, milk and a million of their clothes, another full of the wifes stuff - I packed 2 pairs of shorts, vests, boxers and my flip flops which could have fit in my glove box hahaha. Actually there were also 2 rucksacks and 3 bags4life plus the cooler bag... I don't even, 2 nights? What? :(
 
Box: 'Thule Motion XT XL' (500 litre)
From Halfrods e-bay Account @ £432

Bars: 'Thule WingBar Edge Black' (9595B) flush fit 89.6cm & 97.6cm for the F11
Fixing Kit: 'Thule Fitting Kit' (4022)
Both from roofracks.co.uk @ £280


I ordered the Box first, waited for it to arrive so I could provide the Key code to RoofRacks.co.uk when ordering the bars and fixing kit to ensure all locks (box and bars) use the same key.



My bars are flush fit (cut to size) for the F11, if you wanted to have flexible usage then do not go for flush bars. Perhaps live chat the roofracks.co.uk guys and they'll help you identify the bar and fitting kit required for whichever box you choose :)
 
How did you find those bars @NVP much noise?
With no box on top I only notice them with the roof or window open about motorway speed, still got them on so will take them for a run and find out what speed it actually was. Decent though :)
