For a while I've wanted to fit roof racks to my C34 S2 Stagea, and while there is some info out there, there wasn't anything particularly definitive for me to make a decision one way or another.
After a fair bit of reading I decided on the following parts:
Thule Wingbar Evo (2 Pack) 1270cm - P/N: 711320
Thule Evo Raised Rail (4 Pack) - P/N: 710410
Thule Airscreen Fairing 44" (112cm) - P/N: 8702
Rough Country Platform Tray (Small) - P/N: RCPTS
As I mention in the video the fairing was given to me by a friend so is a little too large for the width of the rails, if I was to purchase my own I would probably go a little narrower so that it would fit within the rails.
However, in the case I will 3D print some new mounts for the fairing so I can attach it to the roof tray and allow it to sit at a smoother angle.
Let me know what you think!

Do you know if our cars support the lower profile version of these roof rails? I was hoping to find a more sleek/aerodynamic option instead of this style.
I'm actually not sure tbh. I think it would be tough to get something as wide. Possibly something exists that's a "one piece" design as opposed to the 3 piece I have here. That way if it was one unit they might be able to design it to be lower profile.
