How to Install Roof Bars

Here is a general guide for installing roof bars on your car: Purchase a roof bar mounting kit that is compatible with your car's model and year. Ensure you check the kit specifications to confirm it is suitable for your vehicle.

Read the instructions provided with the mounting kit carefully. Make sure you understand the steps of the installation process and the specific requirements for your car. Before starting, ensure you have all the necessary tools at hand.

These may include spanners, screwdrivers, and a torque wrench if required. Locate the mounting points on the roof of the car. These mounting points may be pre-existing or require the installation of specific brackets for your car model.

Install the mounting brackets on the identified mounting points. Follow the instructions closely to position the brackets correctly and ensure they are securely fixed.

Once the mounting brackets are installed, position the bars on the roof of the car. Ensure the bars are correctly aligned and evenly distributed across the width of the car. Secure the bars to the mounting brackets using the screws or bolts provided in the kit. Ensure the screws are tightened securely, but avoid over-torquing to prevent damage to the car's roof.

After securing the bars, check that they are firmly anchored and do not move or wobble.

Perform a visual and physical inspection to ensure they are correctly installed. Finally, test the stability of the bars by pulling them slightly and checking for any unusual movement.

If everything appears to be in order, the installation of the roof bars is complete.
