  Different types of roof racks

  Because every car is different, there are actually no universal roof racks. It is true though that most roof racks fit different car models. The biggest difference between different roof racks is determined by the type of roof on which they must be mounted. In our shop we state for which type of roof the roof bars are suitable. There are roughly 4 types of car roofs

  Flat roof: There are no mounting points or rails on your roof

  Open roof rails: There is a raised open railing in the longitudinal direction

  Closed roof rails: There is a raised closed railing in the longitudinal direction

  Fixed mounting points: The car is equipped with original fixing points, usually closed with covers on the roof.

  There are many different types of roof racks in different price categories. In the summary below we briefly list their various characteristics. Not all roof rack types are available for every car model. If you select the right car brand and model in our shop, all matching roof racks will be displayed automatically.

Therefore, before purchasing your roof racks, check the mounting system of the accessory that you want to mount on it.
