Happy that this is helpful for you
And is it robust? I guess the trick is, that the wooden part is fixed to the foot of the gutter mount, so can't slip away?
A shared buy with a forum mate?
Perhaps it's no problem. You could send a picture togther with a dimensioned sketch to Thule and ask for their assessment.
I also have the crossbars from Thule, as nothing else was available. When I ordered the kit, the reference to the metal plates was definitely not there (but in the end I didn't order the kit, as I got the parts individually much cheaper elsewhere). I have (at least temporarily) also taken such rubber plates, but placed them not on the bottom of the channel, but on the side, so that the foot is further towards the vehicle and the lever in the gutter is not so big (unfortunately I can't take any pictures right now, I'll add them later). So far and after a few overnights without problems (I have four cross bars mounted).
Hi, I have the same problem. But I want to built a construction between the bars and the roof tubes of the grenadier. I think, that’s a better solution.
Hi Jörg,
I attached normally at the rain gutter.
I'm up for a shared buy as also need 3 bars - but need the stock to exist first......still waiting on the wee table and side runnersA shared buy with a forum mate?
Sounds like a buy & share item for our classifieds forum.
Hi all, interested in your experience with rooftop tents (RTT as I learned).
I have an older Maggiolina hard shell rooftop tent. Used that in the past on my VW bus and like the concept of a hard shell design that opens parallel.
My tent has entries on both sides but not at the rear. And you already guess it: that just does not match with the ordered Trialmaster having the cool ladder at the back…
So tent with separate ladder at the side can only be a compromise for some time.
Has anybody experience with RTT with entry at the back? Which model would work well with the grenadier setup?
Does it work to step from ladder directly into RTT without stepping onto roof edge? Or do I need to forsee something there?
I plan to use crossbars, maybe 3 for offroading. When aftermarkets provide an option for crossbars fixed to IG side rail I might go for that instead of rain gutter mounting.
Thanks for your views.
