You may have mixed up the roof bars. The wider bar is for the front, the narrower bar goes aft.

The instruction manual indicates that these same bars fit on the 9000 1985 onwards. > > > Also, am I missing some 'feet' which put some weight onto the edge of > the roof? - As they are at the moment, all the weight of any load > would be taken on those 4 'pegs'.
