Post Roof Rail Retrofit

I did a search but it didn't turn up anything. I was wondering if there was a way to retrofit the roof rails to a clubman. I opted not to get them and now think the roof looks a little naked without them. Any ideas?

Hi
We can order the roof rails but they are not offered as a retro fit kit as of yet, i can check if there are plans to release them as a dealer fit kit in the future,
thanks
Chris

Do you know the rough cost of what they would be? Also, I was wondering if it would be a setup like the gen 1 roof rack where there are mounting points already installed and you just need a drill etc, or if the interior headliner would need to be removed and the rack would have to be mounted that way.

Hi
a pair of rails work oput at £240.00,as for fitting the roof skin would have to be drilled to take the rails and then the roof rack is then fitted to the rails,
if drilling the roof is not an option you can fit the standard roof rack support as fitted to the hatch models as the mount points are already there,
the standard roofrack would be £120.00
hope this helps
Chris

Chris, would you guys be interested in retro-fitting? If so, roughtly how much would labour be? I've got the standard roof rack, but fitting/removing is a pain, and it seems to scratch the roof no matter what I do.

Chris, I have the rails and would like to have them install on my 2010 Clubby. I'm trying to find instruction/template to do this install. I live in Germany and the mechanic that was going to install them won't without the instructions. Please let me know where I can find them if they exist.

Cheers
