Which cross bars to fit bike carrier to G4 Expedition Rack?

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to fit a Thule 591 Proride bike carrier to my G4 roof rack. My G4 rack has two cross bars fitted, although I'm not actually sure if these are accessory crossbars that I can fit carriers to. This is my car:



I'm also concerned they are too widely spaced to be able to mount a bike carrier to them.

Does anybody know if these are suitable crossbars for a Thule 591? Can I readjust the positioning of the bars?

Thank you

Chris

I use Halfords Roof Bars Type 3. A perfect fit. Unfortunately Halfords have stopped selling them but Gumtree and Ebay still do.

There may be currently available bars to suit the vehicles that come with factory fitted roof bars.

Disco 2 or older Range Rover bars fit

If you could find crossbars from a disco 2 or a older model rangerover they will fit. I managed to find a set from a Disco 2, I think I had to trim the bars a little. They simply clamp on to the rails.
