Roof Bars for Combo XL?

I’m getting to the stage of life where i’ve given up on sexy cars and start finding rectangles on wheels quite alluring. Just about to buy a Vauxhall Combo Life XL (long wheelbase version 2018) and am having a mare getting some roof bars & feet to fit. Loads for the standard 4.4m version, can’t see any for my future 4.7m beastie.

Anyone know where to look? Ebay/Halfords are useless unless i’m missing something.

No sure if a LWB is a maxi?

Worth going to a Vauxhall parts desk, often cheaper than you can get online.

Roofbox, if in doubt call them. Their customer service is stupendously good.

If you’ve a fixed point roof, beware that Vauxhall appear to have buggered up and have spaced the fix points in locations that make fitting a roof box, and therefore probably a bike rack, impossible.

edit: did you mean bars (acrossways), or rails (lengthways)?

Cheers all – I need bars and rails. There is nothing on the van roof. Not sure if the larger van i’m looking at will work with a ‘Foot’ and Bar pack, as seen in everything Thule does.

Looks like Vanguard/Roofbox will be getting a shout from me!

There doesn’t necessarily need to be. Many just clamp around the door frame.

Typically with Thule you’ll get the bars, one of a couple of different foot pack options, and the vehicle-specific adaptor kit that goes on the bottom of the foot.

The Vauxhall Combo Life XL is new to the market…..

However they are exactly the same van as:

Peugeot Rifter Long
Citroen Berlingo XL
Toyota Proace City Verso Long

The first two have been out the longest so look for options advertised for those.

e.g. perhaps these to bolt on

and a set of transverse bars for high days and holidays
