I visited the Thule site, and selected the MG ZS EV and they displayed the options

I ended up buying the following

Thule Wingbar Evo | 711200
Thule Raised Rail Evo | 710410

Works fine on my LR, i dont know if the roof bars are different on the SE, but if not, these will work just fine.

Sadly the SE doesn’t have any roof bars, so I’m trying to find a different option. Thank you for the reply though.

I may be wrong, but I don't think there are any roof bar options for the SE. They don't have the rails and I don't think they have the option for mounting in the door frames either. Check along the roof and see if there are any flaps you can lift which would allow you to mount bars. Other option are the temporary ones that use straps to go through the door openings, but... they are usually only recommended for lightweight large objects such as surf boards or paddle boards.

There aren't any flaps unfortunately. So there are no means to attach any roof rack fixings. It's the main reason I didn't choose the SE.

I am quite sure the SE is not rated for roof bars. It was one of the reasons I went for the trophy.

then unfortunately your only option are the temporary inflatable ones, but that is obviously not goign to be any good if you want to lug anything heavy like a rofbox or a sofa.

Think you might be down to some bars that "clip" or are tightened against the tops of the door apertures... Never had or used any personally.

Sorry to jump on this thread, just a quick question.

What is the max carrying weight for the integrated roof bars on the LR Trophy?

Can't think it would have changed from the mk1 ? So 75kgs I think.

Christ I didn't think they made those anymore, can't imagine ever trusting something like that holding a roof box at 70 on the motorway
