Honda Roof Bars

pjg50 · 3rd August 2008, 11:55

I've bought a second-hand set of genuine roof bars for my 2008 ES. The seller had them fitted by his dealer, and of course when he sold the Civic he left the four trip pieces which cover up the fitting bolts in the roof.

Can I buy just these trim pieces (and anything needed to fit them?)

Thanks.

I can supply the replacment trims for £7.30 each.

Wow, assuming a rack price of £200 (data from HUK website) this makes up ~15% of the price of the whole rack!

Added to the £7.30 each. I've had my roof bars on nearly a year. Probably use my roof bars once a month to carry my mountain bike.

I've now lost 3 of the damn things. The clips that fir onto the bolt threads are so soft they wear and then dont grip.

Real poor design, why they couldn't use a system like Ford where there is a panel that slides?

Due to a **** up with the dealer when I ordered my rack, I found myself having 4 spares which I didn't pay for...

Just as well, looks like I may need them sometime in the future!

Agree with you comments re the Ford system...

Cheers,

I paid a visit to the stealers today (Francis in Mountsorrel, Leicester) to take the problem up with them.

They've ordered me two new covers & are sending a faulty part report to Honda

I'll let you know he outcome
