Identify the condition of the car
Before you start researching which railing you need, find out here which type of roof your car has. Some cars have integrated or open rails that you can attach clips to. Others have fixed mounting points. There are also variants that have no rails or mounting points at all.
Depending on which of these types you have, different types of mounting kits or other forms of customization may be required. Fortunately, if you don’t have rails, most universal roof rails come with brackets that you can mount under the door frame or under the door frame.
Check the maximum load
One of the most important aspects to keep in mind is the maximum load, i.e. how much weight the roof and railing can support, especially when driving. For example, many roof racks have a maximum load between 60 and 100 kilos, depending on the model.
The body and roof of your car are designed for a certain load. The maximum load is usually stated in the vehicle’s instruction manual. This must not be exceeded, as this may affect stability and braking distance.
Choose material and profile
The roof rails for the car are usually made of steel or aluminum and sometimes in combination. Steel is often cheaper and sturdier, but is also heavier, offers more wind resistance and can make more noise at high speeds. Aluminum is lighter and quieter.
The design of the beams also plays a role. For example, there are aerodynamic profiles that can reduce wind resistance and noise compared to more classic square profiles. It is important to know that not all profiles are suitable for all types of cars. Choose what suits your vehicle.
Based on area of use
Last but not least, it is important to consider the purpose of the roof rack. What you will use it for determines which variant is most suitable for your car. Think about what you are going to transport. Bicycles, skis, roof boxes and roof tents have different requirements for obvious reasons. A roof rack that works well for bicycles may not be optimal for a roof box.
If you do not always need the roof rack, it may be a good idea to choose a variant that is easy to install and remove. Many choose to remove it when not in use to reduce noise and fuel consumption.
If you are still unsure which type of roof rack is suitable for your car, please feel free to contact an expert. At Skruvat.se you get all the help you need.
