Yes, but Thule would charge several times what I paid for these bars from Lidl. They've been on the roof for several years now and I feel I've had my £40 value. Having said that, now they've been removed I've found the internal fittings are seriously rusted and will need some repair before they get refitted.One of the problems with buying stuff like this from Lidl - if there's a problem then there's little to no support apart from refund within the warranty period. Thule or similar would sell you a new key from the lock number.
I still buy stuff like this from Lidl so not knocking them and they are by no means the only place that sell stuff when they can and when it's gone you might never see it again.
No argument there (though maybe not "several" times more). But it's something to be aware of - that extra money that you would pay does sometimes have a reason behind it.Yes, but Thule would charge several times what I paid for these bars from Lidl.
