My bars are more like 1.52m and the foot is about 200mm from bottom or bar to gutter ( not sure if that's how they measure them)

I seem to remember there is a lower foot that just clears the T25 roof but it's a tight fit, mine as you can see clear it well.

this reads that a 952 is 200mm from bar to gutter but length of bar is really up to the owner 1.5m is plenty

mine are steel and 1.52m long, I just measured them, just looked and they have the number 853-2341-09

I'm guessing this ... 100Kg must be steel but that's the load for two bars ( see user manual link)

and foot ( I think that price is for four feet looking on the internet)

Could you post a pic of your bars fitted please Cobra.
I'd be interested to see the clearance with the lower feet.
