Roof bars: everything you need to know

Roof bars are installed to carry construction materials, snowboard packages and other bulky items. These accessories allow to clear space in the boot and mount an additional storage place in the form of roof box. Thus, you can take all you need for a trip avoiding the necessity of a trailer.

Types of roof bars

In catalogues of manufacturers you can find products differing in position:

Lengthwise. Cars are often factory equipped with such products. Even if your vehicle is not equipped with them, car body may have special fastening holes.
Transverse. As a rule, they are additional equipment. They can be mounted right on the upper part of the vehicle body or attached to the lengthwise bars.

By production material roof bars can be:

Metal. They are highly durable. Steel products are not prone to deformation, and aluminium have small weight.
Steel-plastic. These are light and inexpensive accessories which lack impact resistance.

You can buy online accessories:

For particular car brands and models. As a rule, they are easily mounted with standard fastenings.
Universal. They suit many cars. They are more difficult to install because they require drilling of holes.

Usage tips for roof bars

If the car manufacturer has not supplied fastenings, entrust the specialist with installation. If they are, remove plastic plugs from them before mounting.
If you are performing the installation yourself, clean and degrease the mounting place. Mark locations which you are planning to drill. Cover neighboring areas with masking tape to protect the paintwork.
It is recommended to demount the cabin ceiling trim beforehand. During installation use silicone sealant to prevent water from getting in the vehicle.
When using roof bars don’t exceed the maximum load specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise there is a risk of car body deformation.
The carried load should be distributed evenly. Check the load and bars for reliable attachment before driving.
