Anyone tried aftermarket roof bars on their XC40 yet?
Saw a company selling genuine for sub £100 but can’t find them now!
Aftermarket roof bars
I considered the thule wingbars and found all the parts on tredz for £176, Could save £30 if you buy the feet second hand from ebay/gumtree. Also looked at cruz roof bars but then settled on these that I found going through google images - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303126062675
Arrived this morning, will update once fitted over the weekend before first use.
Same way i found cheaper mud guards and have also managed to find a steel grille/cargo divider, looks and says genuine on a german site alot cheaper than other places ive found.

I have a set of Modula bars from Driveden. They are extendable, so easy to swap to other vehicles with similar roof rails. They do a perfectly good job, have been fully tested and certified, and cost less than £100.
I’ll take a look at those too then, thanks.AyrshireXC90 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 4:29 am I have a set of Modula bars from Driveden.

The ones fit the car fine, easy set up with each end having 3x Allen screws to tighten and secure. Each cover over the top locks and each comes with a key.
Slight whistle when in the motorway doing 70. Didn’t bother me and I listen to podcasts so anything slightly louder eg music you’d probably not notice.
Hope this helps
