Need to buy some roof bars for new car.

Altera range look good - simple to use but have to be used for specific car , but look quick and easy to put on ?

Thule can be interchanged , but have to be brought in seperate kit form. Once they are built are they quick and easy to put on ?

Alternatively BMW do own range .

Anyone any ideas /experiences/ advise

Thanks
Col

    I've had thule roof bars on a citroen zx and a fiat stilo. They were really easy to wip on and off the zx, not so easy on the stilo, but this was more the car then the bars as the holes in the roof, which the roof bars bolted to, didn't have a great finish.

    The good thing about Thule is that if you change your vehicle you do not need to change the whole roof bars you can just change the foot pack. Thule can be expensive though when buying the whole kit for first time.
