So, I've changed my car.....again! Long story short, I bought a set of branded Thule roof bars for my Volvo C30 a couple of years ago, but now have a 2001 SAAB 9-3 Aero 3 door. The bike carrier is fine, but the roof bars obviously don't fit. Looked on the Thule website and they say they don't do bars for the 3 door, but their booklet in Halfords say they do. I don't want to hav a rear mounted carrier, so, does anyone know if you can get bars that fit the 3 door 9-3 that I can fit the Thule single bike carrier to?

I've googled it and there are images of 3 door cars with bike racks, but can't seem to find the bars and if my carrier will fit them.

Have a look here-

These guys are superb, put in your vehicle details and it will give you the options, you can probably just buy a new 'foot pack/fitting kit' and use your existing bars, give them a call, they will keep you right.

It's worth looking at Halfords Exodus range too, it's basically rebranded last-gen Thule stuff, I'd bet that range will cater for more older cars than the current gen Thule will.

Thanks everyone, that looks like a result. I'll give them a call. The current bars I have definitely won't fit as the are not separate from the feet, and specifically for the C30, but my brother in law has the generic wing bars so I just really need the feet that will fit the Saab.

Again, thanks for the recommendation.
