Roof bars and tow bar

[guest3477]

Hi

Has any one fitted roof bars to their Jazz? If so what make and where did you get them from.

Also similar question on tow bars.

A customer of ours mentioned they wanted some and obviously wasnt enthusiastic about genuine Honda priced ones.

Cheers Sara

For the towbar you should source a Thule towbar, much cheaper then the original but probably from the same Dutch factory.

A side note though, it is no longer allowed to put a towbar on a GE Jazz CVT :-( we have a GD Jazz CVT which is allowed to pull 800kg which is not much compared to the manual Jazz which is allowed to pull 1000kg, but enough to pull our tenttrailer. Our next car will not be a jazz because of this..

We have roof bars for our car for holidays.  They are Thule (with the lock sets added) bought from Halfords.  Our roof box is a Kamei Husky (bought on line from the roof box company) and has been fantastic.

Only problem like any roof bars is wind noise with the sun roof open.

Ours has the panoramic Window Roof - not sure I should put roof bars on -
this will be my first non roof bar car in many years if I don't
Will put the bike rack on the back sometime.
No need for a tow bar these days - but mine is a manual so it would be OK (ish)

I'm also using the Thule roof bars. Slightly wider than the roof itself, not as pretty as those in the Honda brochure but much more practical. I believe the gutter fitting is fine even for the glass roof cars.

Along with the increased wind noise impact on fuel consumption for me is around 2mpg with nothing on top of them.

Brilliant.

Thanks for the replies
