OMG! I have just about had enough of trying to fix a roofrack to my 2010 Focus Estate. It is one of those with fixpoints. To cut a long story short, I now have Thule feet to fit it but still no luck. I can get one of the feet securing bolts to go deep enough to secure but the others won’t. Surely Ford do not expect an owner to drill them out?! The only thing I can now think of is that I have the wrong Allen bolts to fix with. According to Thule, they should be part no. 50615 which are apparently 50mm long. When I measure mine they seem to be a bit over that including the head.
Does anyone have any experience of fitting this kind of rack? At my wits end.

Re: Ford Focus Estate Roofrack
I'd certainly endorse roofracks.co.uk
Above all, on the few occasions I've had to ring, the person answering the phone has been able to help without my having to repeat the query over and over as I've been referred to a series of different people. Always great service.
According to their www this seems to be the correct equipment for your motor

PS There's a Thule vid at the bottom of that page. That may be helpful. Or not.

Re: Ford Focus Estate Roofrack
Where did you buy it from? I had similar trouble fitting a roof rack to my Ford Focus Estate, bought from Halfords, but when I took it back, it turned out they had sold me the wrong rack - the one for the previous shape Focus. Also, it’s worth paying them a few quid to fit it for you, IME.
I’ve still got the same rack now, with a new foot kit, it’s now fitted to my Vauxhall Corsa.
