  • Any new berlingo owners??

    Just discovered that the modutop roof rails rotate 90 degrees to become roof bars 🙂

    Saved me £130 on Thule stuff 🙂

    Ooh interesting, I don’t have the rails/bars, but got pics?

    For a roof box I’m guessing?

    Ahh cool, didn’t realise there were two sorts of rails, and one sort rotate.

    Should be fine for a bike rack, except why aren’t the bikes in the berlingo?! It’s the whole reason I have one!

    3 Folk and 3 bikes go in without even taking the wheels off, and plenty room for kit. You wanting more than that? 4 and 4 fit too, but admittedly a bit of a faff with wheels.

    More folk than that there’s generally 2 vehicles travelling anyhow, so there are better combos for packing. 6 bikes in the back is no bother if there’s only 2 folk, with just front wheels off (or wheels on all but one bike with both off)

    You’re doing berlingos wrong!

    Ah baby in the car, fair enough.

    There appear to be longitudinal and modular roof bars. The longitudinal ones bend at one end, and are I think longer. I don’t think that sort would go across the way.

    The longitudinal seem to be listed as a separate option in the configuration thing (compared to the modutop).

    The longitudinal ones go to a mount point above the drivers door (they’re longer). I have 3 mount points each side on my blingo (no bars on).
