Hey folks, being a complete 'last minute person' I tried to put our roof box (Karrite Odyssey) on my car this evening, only to find the holes did not line up properly - no matter how much I moved it forward or back, one end didn't fit.
I didn't have this issue last year as we used Modula bars on our old Seat car which had a raised rack roof bar system, but this time I have Thule Wingbar Evo (118 I believe the model is) and it appears they don't seem to fit that box! It's on a C Class Mercedes (W204).
The Karrite uses 'U bolts' which go underneath box into the hole, then are tightened from inside the roof box with black 'nuts'.
Is there an adapter, am I being stupid? Should I try and find a Thule roofbox instead ? Any help much appreciated in advance!
