Roof Rack help please

[Pricey79]

Hello. Could anyone please help. I've just bought a 2022 MG5 Electric estate basic model and have nothing on the roof to put a roof box on (no rails or trims or anything) Is there anything I can do please to get a roof box on? Thank you

Thanks buddy. I did a search but alot of the links in then older threads no longer work, and there didnt seem to be a clear answer. It never even crossed my mind that a car would be so difficult to have a roof rack on

The Excite seems to be a rare beast out in the wild. Has anyone yet identified suitable bars / rack for the Excite.

Unless I was being a div, which is possible, there didnt actually seem to be anywhere on there to actually buy one (the links just went to websites that said your car doesnt fit)

The best link seems to be this one > Thule Car Roof Rack & Roof Bar Systems

You maybe right. The Thule site has the for the Exclusive and the link for the sucker type has gone.

I had the PFL Excite and a lot of people tried to find roof bars to fit, I don’t think anyone ever found any. There was some talk about a particular set from Summit but they weren’t available anywhere. I tried universal fit ones for cars without rails but they didn’t fit. I gave up looking and when my pcp was up on the Excite upgraded to the FL SE, aside from the looming balloon payment that was much more than the car’s value the SE having roof bars was a big factor in my choice

I cant believe this is even a thing, madness
