I am looking to put some racks on my '09 Clubman [R55] to carry my surfboard. Any opinions/recommendations out there ? I searched here and could not find anything. I have a sunroof. I prefer the look of the oem Clubman rack that runs parallel with the rain gutters, that I saw on Amazon. It would appear to be secured with sheet metal screws as opposed to the oem Base roof rack that attaches to the rain gutters. I do not know if one or the other allows more clearance for the sunroof . I also remember that the roof rack was not an option with the sunroof when I ordered SOB [ Sweet Old Bill ]. Any advice is much appreciated. Ray
I recommend the OEM roof rack that attaches at the rain gutters. They can carry the most weight and are very solid. It worked well for us when we used a roof box on my wife's clubman.
Thank you Cooperjet for the prompt reply. That is looking like one of my better options. Glad to hear that they work well. Cheers, Ray
We had the OEM rain gutter rack on my wife's Clubman for a ski season. I really liked it, but we use my Countryman now.
