Roof rack for Mini Cooper Clubman?

[GBaller]

Anyone have any recommendations for a 2008 Clubman roof rack? Thule has one, but it is difficult to find the feet brackets (kitsats) in Sweden. Their site notes (Clubman USA), so I might have to order one from back home. Dealer has one, but is on the expensive side, plus I think needs to have special rails installed.

Doesn't the roof rack for the R56 fit? Hasn't the clubman the four fitting plugs on the roof edge?

Unfortunately, it does not according to the dealer and the rack makers like Thule. The R55 must have a different roof construction. Thanks anyway.

The original R56 roof rack fits the Clubman according to my research. Further, I sold my R56 roof rack to forum user Freddo (PM him as I have not heard anything to the contrary). However, there is a new version around that explicitly includes the R55 in the manuals etc, but its the same thing.

Thanks. I will check into this. Seems like the dealer is not aware of this as well.
