I cracked my pano roof

After one week of ownership I broke my roof. I had an old set of Toyota food bars and put them on at dusk, very pleased with myself having saved £400. This morning after an hours drive with some timber on the top, I found that I had accidentally crushed the glass with the bars and caused a few cracks

I thought it would need to go through the insurance as a full claim, but was delighted when told that pano roofs are covered under the glass policy and Autoglass will do it for £75 excess.

I have learned my lesson and also ordered the correct cross bars! 2005 L322 Vogue Gold gone

Wow - lucky indeed.

Coverage of the Pano roof seems all over the place with different insurance companies.

I would rather not have the fixed rails though.

See if Thule do a foot pack for their wing bars which will fit the L405. They did them for the L322.

Just checked Roofbox company and they suggest they dont make foot packs for them L404 2013 onwards.
Comment is due to design or Roof loading issue. 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue

I was a dealer for Thule in the past and my business personally had an issue with a Pano roof, not on a RR though, shortly after Thule notified its dealers not to offer roof bar systems on any vehicle with a pano roof, unless specifically listed on their latest application guide.
