Choosing the Right Roof Rack Components
A roof rack system typically includes:
Crossbars – The main support bars that hold your gear. There are different shaped bars and they come in various lengths.
Foot Packs/Towers – These attach the crossbars securely to your vehicle.
Fit Kit/Clips – The pads and clamps that ensures a precise fit for your specific vehicle model.
Timing Your Purchase
Plan ahead! Some racks and accessories may require special orders. If you have an upcoming trip or seasonal adventure, don’t wait until the last minute to get your setup ready.
What To Know Before You Purchase
Not all vehicles can support the same roof rack system. You will need to know the year, make and model of your vehicle. You also need to know what roof configuration it has: bare roof, fixed points, rain gutters, or factory installed raised or flush rails. This determines how the rack will be mounted to your vehicle, and what size crossbars you will need.
