I don't want to fit the LR load carrier system to the roof of my Sport as once it is there then it is there for ever! Has anybody found any crossbars or roofracks that will fit without fitting the rail system?
Has anybody got the LR system and what do you think of it? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim,

I have asked the same question myself. I was able to get the installation instructions from the web and determined not only that it is a job I could handle, but that removing the roof rails is also manageable in a matter of minutes. Each rail is held down with 3 screws. I am not speaking from experience as I have yet to purchase the rails and rack. This is based on my interpretation of the diagram I studies closely.

By removing the rails, there will be 3 holes on the rail covers but in my opinion, it's better than leaving them on if you'll be using them a few times a year like me.

Nonetheless, I am interested in any other responses. AC

I had the roof rails and cross bars installed when I bought my truck. The cross bars are easy to remove when not in use: unlock each side and slide to the middle where a slot allows removal. Land Rover provides sleeves for storage. The roof rails are unobtrusive, in my opinion, when the cross bars are removed. Thanks,
