pebbles Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hello fellow parentsWe are thinking about getting a roofbox but wondered whether there are any that you recommend? I'm not sure whether it makes a difference but we have a Mecedes Estate.Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15462-roofbox-what-make/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jills Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yep. Thule. First one weathered 10 Canadian ski seasons, gave to friends when I moved over here and from what I hear, she's still going strong. If you have rails on car already you won't need full fit kit, just the attachments.

fidgetsdad Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We've got a Delphin on our Audi - they fit Mercedes too. It's the biggest one they do and effectively doubles our boot space. We got it because it seemed to have won all the awards. It's certainly well-built and capacious, and you hardly notice it's on there apart from a tiny bit more wind noise.

sillywoman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Another vote for Thule, looks great, doesn't seem to slow us - & no added noise at all (on a Seat Alhambra).

sillywoman Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Pebbles, we got ours on ebay - might be worth a look if budget is tight? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15462-roofbox-what-make/#findComment-405427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
