Fitting instructions needed for rear cycle carrier.

Post by LincsX5 » Wed Mar 28, 2012 4:56 pm

As above really. It's the BMW carrier that attaches to the rear of the roof bars and can be lifted up for boot access. I got one for silly money on eBay. It seems complete but I want to double check before committing myself to fitting it. Unfortunately Google has not been my friend.

It might have been made by Thule or Westfalia? Have you tried their website?

Thanks for the suggestion X5Sport. I've spent a couple of hours this morning on Google again, but can't find any :thumbsdown: I've had it all laid out on the drive and offered it up to car, it all seems to make sense. It's just the thought of drilling the roof rails for the rivnuts :o
