Fiamma F45 + Thule roofbars

Post by itchyfeet »

Hi

Thinking of getting a Fiamma F45 for my tin top , anybody know if I can still use my Thule roof bars with the fiamma fitted?

from the bracket diagram looks like they may clash.

thanks

And the answer is?

Looking at that picture the box of the F45 may indeed rest on the Thule knob...the cross bar should be over the top of the box. If the knob does get in the way then just replace it with a nyloc lock nut.

The answer is No ( it was there after the photos :D )

the pic is taken with the rear bracket exactly behind the front bracket

Even if I replace the knob the roof bar bracket will hit, you are right the bar will be over the top
