I am looking for some roof rails form my new (to me) L405. Has anyone fitted the Powerful.uk ones, and if so do they use standard cross bars

I see they states these are not for vehicles with a panoramic/glass roof. What’s the reason behind that?

Would be interested to hear what Powerful say about the pano roof as I'm in exactly the same boat

Hmm, didn't read that bit because mine has an pan roof. Will contact them again to seee what they say  Paul

Had a message back from powerful saying their bars won't fit with pan roof models. I have found another seller on eBay that says theirs fit with pan roof or not and they are cheaper than the powerful ones

Please do let us know how you get on with them, would be good to find a low cost alternative to the LR original rails.

Will do, going to ring landrover tomorrow just to price genuine ones up through my trade account  Paul

I have the Powerful ones fitted and have a pano roof - the quality of the bars is reasonable, if not amazing. I suspect the reason they say they are not suitable for fitting to pano roofs is because there is always a risk of the roof cracking and they don't want the risk of an argument that the glass broke because of the bars. Ultimately, the genuine bars are the same for both the pano and non-pano models, with the only difference being the trim strips. As the powerful ones are compatible with genuine roof bar trim strips, I concluded that they should work regardless of whether or not you have a pano roof.

I also fitted the genuine finishing strips, rather than drilling the original ones.

I only have one picture to hand of them fitted (and it's not a great one). However, I can get some more later:

Thanks Will, I have spoken to several people who have fitted powerful ones to pan roof models with no problem. Not sure of their reason for stating "not for panoramic roof models". After all I would say the majority of L405 had a pan roof  Paul
