Reassuringly sturdy feeling aluminium, with pretty decent quality plastic.
The weekend just gone gave me time to fit them. A reasonably easy process, though the packed long allen key was not actually long enough, so I resorted to a H4 bit and an extension from my socket set.
Here's a few shots of the roof bars on the car.
I think I'll end up taking them off again soon as I have no particular need for them at the moment and I can hear a whistling noise above 50 which I assume is air rushing over them, but even so, I'm pretty happy with these for under £40. |
Looking good, Odysseus ! £39 is an excellent price. Over my extended stay in the Netherlands, being a Volvo country, I sourced Thule ones with a key, for EUR 50 but used so your deal looks pretty good :-)
