Roof Racks

Roof racks are helpful when you go on a long trip to explore the outdoors or when you need to haul equipment for an event. Their purpose is to carry items that would otherwise not fit inside your vehicle. Some items might manage to squeeze inside your car. But then, you could be losing out on seating space or getting sneers and complaints from your passengers.

How to Know if a Roof Rack Will Fit in Your Car

The first thing you should do is to check your owner’s manual. Each vehicle model has a rated roof load capacity. This load capacity comes in static load capacity and dynamic load capacity. Static capacity means the maximum weight of items your car can carry when it’s not moving. Dynamic capacity means max weight when you’re driving. Once you’ve determined how much you can safely place on the roof, check the current roof setup. Side rails are often installed at the factory, and they might be your default setting. Some models have cross bars without any side rails.

Are Roof Racks Standard Size?

The quick answer is no. Some roof racks will not fit every car. Before making a choice, ensure you get compatible roof racks or luggage racks for your model. Browse our extensive collection of exterior accessories to find ones that fit your vehicle.
