And there was me thinking things expanded in the heat and shrunk in the cold ?
No, the outside panels are still cold, while the inner structure is warm. Somewhere hidden to us, the frame of the car buckles and distorts whilst the temperature differential exists.
I've been racking my brains.

Paul - that is ugly. Hopefully the replacements will not do that.
Daz, your jokes, (sorry attempt at a joke) are pretty lame
"Hi Paul The rails are on back order , they obviously are changing a few I will let you know as soon as they are in stock Regards Mark " [unquote]doesn't say much really.
"Today I went to two Hyundai dealers to look at cars. Being a Sunday, I didn't need to worry about being approached by the sales people. I saw four GD i30 CW's. The roof bars appear to be plastic. On each of the four cars the left roof bar had a noticeable kick (or kink) upwards, about 3/4 towards the front of the car. The kick/kink seemed to start at one of the small plastic covers. There was no gap between the black (rubber?) strip and the roof, unlike Paul's pics. "(A previous post by me. From what I saw and if the roof bars are the same parts as the UK roof bars, I'd say we have the same problem here.)
Was going to get a Tourer, but don't think I'll have a bar of one now!
