How to Fit Roof Bars on a BMW

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Body

In this video, you will see how to fit original roof bars on a BMW without needing any tools: clean the rail thoroughly, remove the safety closures by opening them with the key and pushing them upwards. Turn the knob to the left to open the fixing socket. Position the seals, trimming any excess gasket material (but don’t throw it away). Take the front bar (which is the longer one) and position it at the correct height (the measurement is provided in your vehicle's instruction manual), then tighten the knob until you hear a "click", and close it with the key. Now do the same with the second bar. That’s it.
