Hi, started this thread to find out more about Thule racks. Would like to request folks who have used Thule racks before to share their experiences. For me, I am currently exploring the possibility of fixing roof racks + roof box onto my Toyota MPV (Sienta). I have some questions that I hope can find some answers. 1) For cars without roof rails, how are Thule racks fixed onto the roof? Is any drilling of hole on the roof required? Read that cars with screw-holes on their rain gutter can be use to fix racks. Is this also possible for Toyota cars? 2) Besides Pro-RV, any other shops in Singapore that sells Thule racks? 3) Any problems that can result from installing roofracks? Eg, water leaking into car from the roof. 4) Any issues with height for entering MSCP? 5) How badly is FC affected with the empty box on, and also with just the rack without box? 6) Is the installation permanent, and cannot remove easily if we don't want the racks in future? 7) They have so many boxes, hard and soft type. Which model of box have you tried and which is good? I guess too big not good too small also not good. 8) The picture I found at the bottom is RV-INNO rack nd box. Any place selling this RV-INNO brand in Spore? Thanks for any contribution.

Anyone of you familiar with car roof racks? I've only heard of Thule. I'm thinking of getting a roof rack system to carry a bike. Any suggestions will be welcomed, especially more competitively priced than Thule..... Thanks.

Hi, thinking of installing Thule roof rack but heard that it can be noisy at high speed, even with the Thule Aerobars. I want to leave the bars on the car when not transporting my bikes. Not too concern about FC but particular about excessive wind noise. Thule have new product call Wingbar, claim to cut down noise to almost cannot hear. Anyone use before can comment if it really works and really is noiseless? Is it worth it to pay more for Wingbars? Normal aerobars New Wingbars

1,115bhp and it has a Thule Carrier on its roof - Koenigsegg Agera R
Rigval posted a blog entry in MyAutoBlog
Unbelievable. 1,115bhp and over 1,000Nm of torque as well as Michelin tires rated to over 400km/h and it has a Thule Ski-carrying box on its roof. This people is the Koenigsegg Agera R that will be on display at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Built for a customer that loves skiing, this Agera R also sports the Speed Racer Mach 10 color scheme and comes with two removable carbon fiber roofs, one the standard version and one that comes with the ski-box carrier. Imagine that. The car, the successor of the Koenigsegg CCXR, is Koenigsegg's latest effort. It is rear wheel drive and is powered by a 5.0 twin turbocharged V8 that has about 1,115bhp and was designed to try top the BUgatti Veyron's 431km/h maximum speed. However some people are realists and their Koenigsegg needs to carry their hobby stuff - like skis. Koenigsegg practically worked hand in hand to develop this roof carrier with Thule, that famous manufacturer of roof racks, boxes & bicycle carriers. This is surely one supercar that adds a dose of practicality instead of going for the full maximum acceleration or maximum speed records. Of course the Agera R still looks outrageous or is it outrageously practical? Whatever the case, I believe that this is the second most practical supercar launched after the station wagon looking Ferrari FF. A new era of supercar beckons. One with enough space to carry a whole week of groceries? Now this is news to me.-

This is a long shot, I chat up this guy in the car park about his Thule rack/box. He said tthat in S'pore it retails at about $700, but he got it in southern Thailand at $300. He doesn't know the address as he was brought there by his friends. According to him, that aarea sells alot of x-road stuffs and very good prices. I regreted not asking him to get the address from his friends. Anyone here knows of this place?
