Roof Bars Sr180

[Tx2]

Looks like I am going to have to commit the cardinal sin of fitting roof bars to my car to facilitate carrying bikes. Trouble is, I don't see anywhere that they would fit! I have a rubber strip running down either side of the roof edges, but no gaps or slots into which I can fit bars. Does the rubber have to be removed entirely, or cut to shape?

I would only have the bars on when I want to carry bikes, so i don't want to start carving up bits of the car to accommodate bars that won't be there that often.

Unless anyone can confirm a high mount rear cycle carrier that I could strap to the back? The spoiler looks to me like it would get in the way, and I really do not want to have a plate & lights board if the rear light clusters are obscured. Thule do a high mount one, but I'm not sure if the straps will put pressure on the back edge of the spoiler.

Other than that, it's a towbar, but now we are talking silly money when you consider all the electrics as well!

If there gen items there shaped to the roof and clamp down by the bracketts mounted in the door shut make sure the rubbers are on
