What you need to know about roof bars

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

In this video, you can learn many things about roof bars, a very useful accessory for transporting on the roof of your car everything that does not fit inside; they are almost always made of steel (square-shaped) or aluminium (more aerodynamic shape), which are quieter. There are various ways to secure the bars; plates, fixed points, longitudinal bars, whether high or low, or (for cars equipped with them) the gutters. Always remember to load the car so that the load is well distributed. The load can extend sideways by 30 cm, and 30% of the length of the car at the rear, provided you install the protruding load sign. Loads must NOT extend at the front. For mounting, the first bar should be positioned 15 cm forward of the junction point of the two doors and the second 70 cm away from the first. Tighten the screws between 2 and 4 Nm and do not forget the seals, if you do not want to hear an annoying whistle while driving.
