S203 crossbars needed for roof rails

Hi guys just wondered if anyone has any good recommendations for cross bars for the S203 factory fitted roof rails?

I'm looking for something that is multi-functional for both bikes, skis and roof tents,

Thanks

You should look at companies such as Thule or Yakima. On their websites, you can input your car's information (year, make, model, body type, roof rail type) and they'll show you crossbars that are compatible. That's what I used when looking for roof racks for my S203, but I never actually bought any (so, unfortunately, I can't give my opinion or review). I don't really know any other roof rack/storage companies, but you may be able to search for a few and they may have something similar on their websites. Sorry that I couldn't be more help, but hopefully it helps you figure out what works best!

I have Yakima round bars and a roof box for my 203 wagon. The round bars are noisy over 60mph. There are more modern wing shaped bars that can cut down the noise substantially. The roof rails are nowhere near strong enough to safely support a roof tent with people inside and it will murder your highway fuel consumption.
