I bought a set of Atera bars for D3 and the bolts / washers used to attach the feet to LR roof rails all went rusty.

The Thule ones look great and are a superb price. I would like to go for the Aero bars but there doesnt seem to be a carrier that fits a Canadian type canoe. They all seem to be for the Square bars.
Anyone know different please?

Mine didn't rust, but then again I did use some stainless ones I had lying around.
When I first started looking for roof bars I wanted Thule, but they had problems with the first ones, and said they were working on the design for the Disco 3. So I had to buy Atera, it was a shame as Thule seem to be all sorted now, and they are a nice piece of kit.Arctic Frost Discovery 3 TDV6 SE, Active Rear Diff, Adaptive Head Lights, Tow Pack, Ebony Leather, Roof Rails, Mantec Guard.

Ive ordered my Thule Aero bars as they do two different types of Canoe brakets for Aero bars.
Thanks to all for the advice....
