Ford Focus Mk2.5 Roof Bars - Help!

[sjlockley]

Hi guys, new to the forum so thanks for your time.

I am looking for roof bars for my 2009 Mark 2.5 Focus zetec 5dr.... rather than getting the bog standard ones that grab the sides of the car I want to use the fittings available.

Looking to keep costs as low as possible but there is so many options and unsure what will fit it.

I've attached a couple of pictures of the fitting and the car itself.

You'll need to dig out a hole in the sealant there. the threaded hole is in the middle of the gap.

I managed to get a set off a chap on here (sorry, still use them). They're genuine Ford ones...which are re-branded thule units.

Incidentally, my car is the same age (well, 2009 build - '60 plate lol) in the same colour :D

Here's some on eBay to confirm exactly what you're looking for:

Big point- If you fit the OEM roof bars be sure to seal the bolt hole with silicone on fitting or you'll get water ingress.

I've never had a problem with that
