“I have not yet fitted the Lock Key set. The main problem concerns the Modula Roof Bars. The assembly is very complex. Despite Neil's help my son and I were unable to assemble the Bars fully. The main oroblem being the appalling Instructions provided by the Italian manufacturer. This problem should be reported to them . A separate Instruction sheet in good English is badly needed!
But DriveDen have been First Class!”
“Lock barrels to short didn't fit properly had to modify the clips where the locks go it seems they were to deep where they were machined by about two mill but altogether not bad”
“The end caps did not fit the roof bars, and so had to be cut down 2-3mm on both sides and across the bottom, as well as making the recess for the bars deeper by a similar amount. The locks then fitted and turned easily. Removing them was a nightmare, they jammed and I had to lever the end caps off. In the process 2 of the locks sheared. I then cut the end caps down further and I can now lock and unlock the remaining 2 locks. So the locks themselves are OK, they just don't work with the supplied end caps without modifying the latter.”
Sorry to hear you have had some issues. The covers can be tight, but will still fit when located correctly. We sell many of these and although tight on the first fit, they will be easier once on and by being tight will not rattle or vibrate on the car.
