Would You Consider Installing A Luggage Rack On The Roof?
Many friends who like to travel by car will like to install a roof rack on their roof.
In addition to the decorative and beautiful role of the roof rack, it can store things that cannot be placed in the luggage compartment, such as bulky luggage, bicycles, folding beds, etc.
It can also be used with the roof box and roof frame to carry travel luggage to increase the interior space, and can also carry other sports equipment such as skis, bicycles, sailboats, etc.
Roof rack installation 1.
One of the most popular installation methods is to use the original car's roof rack rails to install transverse brackets on the roof.
Original car luggage rack longitudinal rail
divided into
One-piece longitudinal rail, separate longitudinal rail, T-slot longitudinal rail
One-piece longitudinal rail
The one-piece longitudinal rail is completely fitted on the roof, looks beautiful, and is completely connected to the roof, which is the decoration of the car.
Separate longitudinal rails
The split longitudinal rail is in the shape of an arch bridge, most of which are separated from the roof, and only a few fixed points are connected to the roof, which has also become an ornament of the car.
T-slot longitudinal rail
T-slot longitudinal rails are relatively rare.
There is little difference between the installation on the integrated longitudinal rail and the separate longitudinal rail. The bayonet is fixed with screws, and the position of the bayonet is very flexible, but the structure and shape of the bayonet are different.
2. There is no vertical rail in the factory, but there is a reserved port to install the horizontal bracket directly.
Generally, there will be a reserved opening under the sealing rubber strip on the roof. It is necessary to tear off the sealing strip, install the buckle on the reserved hole, and then directly install the base and the lateral bracket.
3. The factory has neither longitudinal rail nor reserved opening to install fixing hook,
Roof racks can also be installed by adding fixing hooks.
4. It is cumbersome to install the clips on the T-slot longitudinal rail first, and then install the base and the horizontal bracket.
Vehicles with luggage racks must be re-approved and photographed at the vehicle management office to ensure that the appearance of the vehicle body is the same as the photo of the motor vehicle on the driving license. When driving on the road, do not overload, super high, super wide, super long, pay attention to the carrying weight of the roof rack (usually 30~50 kg) and the actual carrying weight of the car.
The height of the body from the ground to the top of the body cannot exceed four meters, and the height of the roof must not exceed half a meter. Otherwise, it may be judged by the traffic police to be illegally modified, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed.
