Black Roof Rails (Full length)
I'm looking for a set of full-length Black Roof Rails for my 2014 D4
Main Stealer prices seem extortionate @ £382.77+VAT, when all i'm looking for is an aesthetic finish.
Can anyone recommend a decent quality aftermarket product?
I can see plenty on eBay, but almost too many suppliers to choose. Has anyone bought from eBay, and if so, which supplier?
Thanks in advance!

I got mine from the Bay of Fleas and (as per a comment in the thread from Narpy ) the aluminium rails themselves are spot-on, just the plastic bits not as good as LR ones.
Careful removing old ones … I snapped one of the set-screws and had a 'mare sorting it BUT that's because the bits on the room that LOOK to be welded to the car aren't ! so I spent hours drilling out a fitting to re-tap it only to find (form info on here ) that it's a part that costs pennies !.

Cheers for the info Dean
I don't have any short rails to remove - this will be a 'first fit' so hopefully it'll be relatively straight-forward.....
Famous last words......

I got a good deal on some Freelander roof rails a few years ago at the LRO show.
I think it was the Duckworths tent. Maybe Dan on here may be able to give you a good price?
I'm hoping to get the full length rails when I get my D4.
Good luck with your hunt.

He gave me a good price.
Some "oem" rails have inferior rubbers which can cause problems. Also the dimensions, cutting etc. are often more involved to make them fit which is why I chose genuine LR. Fitted straight on, just followed the instructions to the letter.
