Re: Thule roof bars
Having had the bars for 2 months, I thought I'd post a review (also prompted by a recent post). First off, they were a bit fiddley to put together, and it took nearly 2 hours to put them on first time round. As said in my earlier post, I used the clear stickers as per instruction.
