How to Fit Universal Roof Bars on a Citroen Xsara Picasso

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Roof rack bars

Let's see how to fit universal roof bars on a Citroen Xsara Picasso. Universal roof bars are used on cars with roof rails (fixed bars secured to the car roof) and without. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with the bars calibrated according to the width of the car. Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the car's original roof rails. Once the width of the anchoring brackets is adjusted, tighten the pins with the wing nut (if a lock is present) until they are fully anchored to the roof rails of the car. Finally, apply the safety caps on both sides with or without a key.
