SWB roof rails question

[gusman99]

Hi,
Need advice I got some aluminium rails fitted when I had a poptop installed last year Trying to find some crossbars that will fit these , but I don't know what this type of rail is called - what crossbar fitting is suitable these ?
Or...is this just a rail to fix normal roof rails onto, so I'll have to buy the rails and the crossbars?
Advice appreciated!

Sorry to jump on this post. I have T6 Lwb and want to carry a kayak (36kg) a friend of mine fits pop tops (West Dubs and Skyline) West dubs say 40-50kg and I have an email from Skyline saying 60kg on top of roof bars fitted to roof rails. My question is has anyone fitted roof rack or rails to a west dubs or Skyline pop top? If so how did you go about it?
Thanks

I appreciate you asked this a while ago, but if you're still researching this, consider whether the Reimo "active rail system" would suit. This would then allow easy fitment of Thule footpacks and cross bars. We have this on...

Thanks for replying @Badjamin ok good to know - its Reimo active rail.
Sorry, I am being thick still ....can't find any feet that actually specify they're compatible. Most seem to fit open rails - do i just need any feet for flush rails, eg any standard thule footpack , like Thule 753?
Compatability lists just seem to be based on vehicle models - nothing tells me what's compatible with the active rail

I only know what the forum tells me and I struggle with reading but I think the below is a method from reading down the thread I shared with you but it's hardly ideal. Sounds like the reimo system may be a little limited? I dunno, I don't have roof rails or anything on my van
