Rubber Inserts for LR Roof Bars

Just wondering if anyone knows where you might be able to get the rubber inserts for genuine LR roof bars?

Reason I ask is that I've seen a set for sale and they don't have said inserts:

This stuff ought to do the trick

I'm sure other generic strips will be available for similar or less if you have a bit of a hunt around using that description. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I am pretty sure that the new Defender L663 roof bars are made by Thule so that the link NoDosh put up should work. On the L663 bars the rubber inserts have a series of diagonal stripes on them, however I doubt that anyone buying a set of second hand bars will not be such a nerd to spot the difference. GLWTS

Thanks for the pointers everyone! Thumbs Up

Should have checked Amazon and fleaBay first but thank you for not chastising me!!! Embarassed

Picked up the roof bars today. They're in fab condition and a steal at £75!

Hi Jason - Which strips did you go for? I’ve just picked up a pair of bars off eBay without strips (where do they go?!?!) and have read the strips without the grooves are noisy?

Thanks pal

Hi James,

I bought these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284636373709

They are a set of 2 strips. Really good quality, right price and they have the grooves on them.

Easy to fit but do need trimming to size. Quick job with a Stanley knife. Took me about 15 mins to fit & trim.


Best regards,

Australia 

The back of the chevron style rubber strips it says Volvo for the genuine Land Rover Freelander cross bars.




If you need a 20mm or whatever captive plate (nut) in the cross bar, you do NOT need to cut out a section of rubber.

Simply trim down the 2 rubber wedges just enough to the length of the plate (nut) required & drill a hole through the rubber.

The rubber strip will then hold the plate (nut) in the required position along the captive channel & you only end up with a 6mm hole through the rubber. The rubber strip stays in place. Works brilliantly.

Later if you decide to remove the bolt going through the rubber strip. You only have a 6mm hole which isn't noticeable in the scheme of things & the rubber strip stays in place.
