I’ve now used the carrier in anger (admittedly just for small bikes so far) - it worked really well though. Very pleased. 

Hi All - I've recently bought a Gen 2 2009 Alphard which I love - brilliant family car!

Just getting it kitted out at the moment and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for roof bars?

Thanks

Hiya - mine was the same  - I think probably because it’s not a European car and this is a European product so it’s not listed. Essentially you need to have a tailgate. It’s not perfect because the tailgate on mine is very narrow so the rubber overlaps the tailgate a few mm but I thought I’d risk it and return it if it didn’t work. As long as I keep the straps done up tight I think it’s going to work fine but I’ll update here again once I’ve actually done a trip with it. I was just so pleased after my test fitting I thought i’d share while I remembered. I’ve attached a photo. Not looking to lead anyone into a mistaken purchase though!

I came on to this thread while I was researching so just in case anyone else comes on here looking I ended up buying one of these https://www.driveden.com/product/fabbri-bici-ok-van-rear-mount-3-bike-carrier-7214?gclid=CjwKCAjwt7SWBhAnEiwAx8ZLajuW7c7o13U84AcYIWnZTLBV2rR3wbOv6DubUNk0cER3tkYyTTB68BoC6vAQAvD_BwE (FABBRI BICI OK VAN REAR MOUNT BIKE CARRIER which I've just put on for the first time and looks like its going to do the job nicely.
