AFAIK, the Subaru roof bars will still fit, since they locate into brackets hidden under the plastic roof strips.

Once fitted, I reckon you could just about lift the car with them

Yes there is - I have a set of thule bars for my p1 and a Thule evolution 300 (i think) roof box from when I was telling myself that I could use it as a family car (for going on holidays where the roads are nice rather than giving up and getting a big estate or MPV). At least I could hoon about whenever I'd finally arrived there and taken the box off. Then the second child arrived...along with the MPV. Still have the P1 but never use the rails/box anymore - only used twice in total.

They don't bolt under the roof rail trim, they use the door frame and a connecting bar to the rear cross rail which just sits on the roof with rubber pads. Totally stable at 90+ with an eff off big roof box full of stuff in.

You can buy the bike adapters separately and as I haven't used it for ages I could very easily be encouraged to sell my set... I'll see if I can dig out a photo or scan the manual in later tonight.

Will do Peccy, but ended up having a quick drink after work last night.... in at 2 am , tonight is the other half's birthday so we're out, and tomorrow we're off to wales for a wedding so it maybe Sunday i'm afraid before I can get any photos of mine, but here's a web address with the same kit on - £132.85 new. The Thule roof box I have is about £180 quid worth new (it's a biggie) and I see from that site that the bike rack additions (that I don't have) are circa 70 quid.

Peccy,

If you're interested, I have two standard Thule roof bars with foot packs to fit a classic and two Thule Tour 510 bike carriers for sale in good condition, only been used a couple of times. Lock in place and rock solid whilst in use, highly recommended, no damage to roof on mine..... open to sensible offers, cost over £200 new.
