Options For Mounting The Thule Caprock Platform To A 2018 Land Rover Discovery
Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Land Rover Discovery HSE. My factory installed roof rails are raised. Half of distance they are raised and you can see the gap underneath but the other half they are still raised but the roof gets higher and there is no longer the open gap but the rails are still raised. I’m assuming it is #2 as per the options above to choose from. My question is 1. do I need to install the two roof crossbars or can I just use the mounts to install the larger actual roof rack? I already have the low profile roof rack and now I’m unsure if I need the crossbars or can I just use the mounts. Thank you for your input, it’s greatly appreciated! Adam

You do not have to install crossbars in order to use the Thule Caprock platform tray # TH98YE. For your 2018 Land Rover Discovery. You would only need the Thule Evo Feet # TH710601 and fit kit # TH84JV. The Caprock platform can be mounted directly to the evo feet. We consider the rails on your vehicle to be the "flush mounted rails".
Thule does make a crossbar adapter # TH53YE, which can be used to mount the platform to a crossbar. If you already have a roof rack with an aero bar, you can use this adapter to mount the platform. This could be used with a crossbar like the Thule Wingbar # TH711400.
