Roof bars

I am planning a trip which will involve 3 dogs (two large and one small) and three passengers plus luggage for a two week period.

With me so far?

I have a large roofbox that I have used in the past plus loads of Thule bars of varying length. So now I want a Thule foot solution for L405 (panoramic or otherwise). Not listed anywhere.

Anyone aware of a roof bar solution? I really do not want roof rails on my car which seems to be the LR solution, especially as it would only be for a two week period? 2019 D5 HSE Lux SDV6 Indus

First link is for roof rail kit of parts with a grand total of £850 + VAT!
Second link is broken.

Ouch for a 14 day period, plus I really do not like roof rails on an FFRR. 2019 D5 HSE Lux SDV6 Indus

Isn't it forbidden in the UK to transport dogs in a roofbox?

Not that much different to transporting them in a trailer and that is allowed. 2019 D5 HSE Lux SDV6 Indus

We call the roofbox the MiL transport solution Twisted Evil

But all (good) jokes aside. Without know the exact shape of the roof around the doors, there is a type that I used for my old Alfa Romeo 164. The soft plastic pad rests on the roof, close to the edge. Then a "hook" made of flat strip (with some stiffening ridges) hooks around the roof edge "inside" the door frames. I remember two bolts to secure the hook to the roofbar.

I think they were Thule and more or less generic for that (then quite new) roof line. See of something like that would work maybe.

I also vaguely remember seeing suction pad based roof "racks" for snowboards and skis but no idea if they A would work on the L405 and B are strong enough for the roofbox windforces.

Good luck.

Other option is a trailer on high speed tyres Wink MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

In Holland we call that a 'mother in law box'

I do have a high speed trailer for you, it is the rear half of a pilgrim cobra might be your solution.
