I have a Thule atlantis roof box with the power grip system that attaches to the roof bars, does this system fit on the standard D3 roof cross bars

I just spent the better part of 3 hours hand fitting a number of Thule componets to my LR3 roof yesterday, at this shop in the USA http://www.racknroad.com/
Assuming you have the factory U channels, but do not have the cross bars, here is what will work:
- TK12 base cleat (for the U channel on your roof)
- 430 or 430R pylon mount for the load carrying bars The R is for their new steamlined alum bars the standard 430 is for the steel rectangular load bars. A 50" bar is fine, perhaps even a bit long.
The rear of the car is 2" narrower than the front!
The TK12's are hard to find around here, I used a TK1 (very comon), and used Yakima steel shims to work as the cleats. It works fine.
