I've tried searching but can't find....what is the general advice on roof racks / bars for a saloon? Thinking of carrying two mountain bikes up top.
Anyone up to such shenanigans??
Easy for you lucky estate owners, innit

I've just started researching. I've won some Thule square steel bars on eBay - 120cm ones fit the scorp.
I also have a bid on the Thule 754 foot pack. Then I'd need the Thule 1299 adaptor kit as well.
What I'm finding a struglle is a bike rack that will take a ebike as they are heavier than normal bikes.

Get a trailer!
Otherwise every corner will be a heart stopper... I had a roof rack come off once, on a mini r/a/b.
Thankfully it was very early in the morning and there was no-one around.
I spose even two MTBs would be quite heavy. I think I'll fix 'em in the back, rear seat down, and securely anchored. Don't want them doing a fly past in the event of an accident, which is what would happen.

The Ford rack off my old Granada fits my Scorp which I've used to carry 3 MBs about.
