Whilst I'm waiting for the Winbo to be delivered (£15 for 1 week delivery?!), I thought I'd try out another roof rack I have lying around...

That gives you a bit more carrying capacity

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationSo my rack arrived today.
This is the one I went for:
It arrived in a box in 100 pieces. It is unbranded and the instructions were in Mandarin. Total cost £44.99
It took about an hour to assemble.
It is supposed to attach to roof bars, which in turn attach to the roof rails on the Jimny. I bypassed the roof bars, screwing it directly to the roof rails. Here's some pictures of it on the car, loaded with a few bits and bobs I had lying around:
As you can see, it is quite a good fit for the existing rails. Actual dimensions are 1040mm wide and 1330mm long. You might notice the rails run the opposite way to the ebay picture.
Build quality is reasonable- it's definitely strong enough for heavy luggage, spare wheels and Jerry cans.
There is a noticeable increase in wind noise from 45 mph and at 70mph there is a slight whistle. About what you'd expect from something this size on the roof I guess.
