Roof Rack (Roof Bars)
A roof rack is a pair of crossbars on the car roof used to carry loads, roof boxes, bikes or boats.
What is Roof Rack (Roof Bars)?
It fits onto roof rails, fixed points or door frames. The bars must be approved for the specific car model. Empty bars still increase fuel use and wind noise. Remove the bars when not in use to save fuel and reduce noise.
How it works
The crossbars spread the load onto the roof’s strongest points.
Why it matters for your car
Never exceed the car’s maximum roof load or the rack’s rating. Check the fixings after the first few kilometres.
