A lot of the bars themselves are standard, it's the feet or "fit kits" that vary car to car. I'll pin your comment in case anyone knows what you need for your pug
thank you so much for this video, there were literally no third party roof racks for this car on the german market and you can't order these from the german ford website. So I searched for the part number and found a trader that still sells these for the 3 door version of the ford fiesta. I wouldn't have found out without your video! :)
Anyone with a panoramic roof tried to fit these roof bars on? I'm not sure if the car has the same channels/lip that the footpack clamps over? I know ford dont recommend it but I'm wondering if its possible aslong as the load capacity of the roof is reasonable
I think that the lip is the same and it's the danger of the sunroof colliding with the bars that Ford discourages you from doing it. Next time I see a panoramic sunroof I'll park next to it and whip out the measuring tape for you 😂
@@solmackay Yeah I thought that was the case, aslong as thats the only reason then thats fine, I'm just not sure about the load capacity of the panoramic roof, although it shouldn't be much different to the standard roof as the bars clamp on the pillars. I've emailed Ford to ask but they haven't given me an answer, I want to find out for sure before I place an order. Cheers mate 👍
@@WelshCrossy I've seen other cars with pano roofs with bars but you're right, it's better to make sure. Ford will probably still discourage you from doing this but I'm sure someone out there has done it before
Don't suppose you took these off when you sold the car did you? The rubber around the rear window won't come back out on mine. Assume yours was the same? Cheers
You can use a trim removal tool to fold them back out but in my experience it never effected water ingress I just did it so it looked back to normal for when I sold it
Would probably need a different "fit kit" as thule call it. I've seen a 2014 st with a roof bar before but it had a bar running from the fronts to the backs so dony know if this is needed 😬
Just got the roof bars today after seeing your video. The rubber strips that run through the middle did you have to cut them to put the carrier in or not. And did you use the square or rectangle bits Thanks man
What's the wind noise like? Also do you need any fixing kits or will the thule proride and ford roof bar kit give me everything I need? Thanks for doing this vid btw
Without bikes the wind noise is pretty quiet actually, that's if you do a decent job with putting the rubber strips in the rails. No fixing kit is required either which is nice
Hi there, clicked the link for the roof bars cheers. I'm just curious if the bars come individually or if the link is one whole kit? It's not easy to tell from the Ford website if the cost of the part is just for one bar or not.
@@solmackay Fantastic mate! Recently got the motor for my birthday and hoping to past my test in Jun to drive it. Already looking at ways I can modify it though haha
@@solmackay Ah good stuff mate, shame there's not a lot I can do with a non-st, would love to make it look like a rally car. These videos have me really pumped to start ordering, you should get yourself sorted with some affiliate links.
I’m struggling to find something similar for my 3 door Peugeot 106. Any help would be greatly appreciated

WelshCrossy could you give an update, please?
Did you manage to fit them to your st with a panoramic roof? Cheers
Great video! Would anyone know about roof racks for focus st line 2019?

@@solmackay thanks I'll give that a try
You missed the part where you put the rear bar on the car! Do you know if it would fit a 2014 3 dr Fiesta ST?

Thank you for this video the guy at the store said it needed to be for 3 doors and would not let me get the 5 doors
No worries
So will these work on a 5 door?
What is the distance for the rear roof bar? I bought some second hand and unfortunately no instructions, thanks!
Any joy on the distance for the rear roof bar?? Thanks
Hi mate, know this is an video what bike rack is that, just got the roof bars on my 3dr but my rack doesn’t fit.
They're Thule proride 591, I got the twin pack ones
Just got the roof bars today after seeing your video. The rubber strips that run through the middle did you have to cut them to put the carrier in or not. And did you use the square or rectangle bits

Yes I did cut them and from memory was the square bits

It will be for two, bike carriers not included
I know this is an old video. Is there a weight limit to the roof bars?
Ford says 50kg, e bikes wiggle a bit on the carriers but I promise they stay put
@@solmackay thank you, I'm looking at a roof tent for mine
@@owendunmore4343 nice one, sounds cool. You might get away with it because you probably won't be driving around with people sleeping on your roof
Hi great video are the t tracks 20mm thule standard size for bike rack cheers
Yeah these are honestly thule racks with ford logos on them
@@solmackay thanks that's great I'll order some cheers
I have a 2014 3dr fiesta zetec S ecoboost and can’t seem to find roof bars for it anywhere. Any help or advice??
Did you ever manage to find anything? Im in the same situation atm
Hi. Do you have the ford part number for the bars you used please? The eBay link doesn’t seem to be working. Thanks
Yeah do a Google search for 2112681 and you should find it
Thanks mate 👍
What thule bike rack do you have?
Thule proride 598 are the bike carriers
@solmackay cheers bud 👍
Also did you have to buy the square adaptor for this bike rack from thule?
@@Endeavour6644 I don't think I had to buy anything else
@@solmackay sorry for all the questions but did you notice rain getting into the car after installing these?
Are those bars suitable for putting a roof box on them?
Yeah I think they've got a 75 or 80kg capacity
@@solmackay thank you very much mate
Muito legal
Does it come with bike carriers ??
No you'll need to get them separately
Does this work for the Mk 7 st 3dr?
Not this exact one but I've seen mk7s with roof racks
Will they fit mk6 fiesta st?
Sorry for the late reply, the bike carriers will, but the bars themselves wont
Hi mate, will this work on a normal MK8 Fiesta?
Yes they will 👍
@@solmackay Fantastic mate! Recently got the motor for my birthday and hoping to past my test in Jun to drive it. Already looking at ways I can modify it though haha
@@Ethan-vl1bz thats the spirit! The first 3 videos in my lock down mods playlist are transferable to the normal mk8 too

Ya think it would hold 3 bikes??
I would say so as long as the middle one was rear facing and the other two faced forward
It does mark the rubber rim on the back windows
Can you fit Thule roof bars to this car?
The Ford ones are rebranded thule ones. I've no idea where to get the thule ones
@@solmackay Alright cheers, is that the Thule Pro ride you are using? is that compatible with the ford bars?
Yeah all the thule carriers will first on top
@@solmackay do you perhaps know the Thule foot pack model numbers?
Does this fit on the mk7.5?
There will be a different one, but I've seen mk7 st with a roof rack
