Roof Bar System Features

Wherever possible, we'd always recommend choosing a Rapid foot kit. Compared to a more traditional foot, Rapid feet are much simpler to secure to your vehicle, and fitment requires no special tools.

First, slide the foot into the load bar. Adjust according to the graduated scale on the bar, then secure in place.

Finally, place the bars onto the car and tighten the handle on the load bar.

Next, click the bracket into place, and press the foot pad home.

Also worth considering are Aero Bars, which not only look much better on most modern cars, with their Aluminium construction, but are also extremely durable and, at the same time, lighter than their more traditional counterparts.

Whilst Rapid foot kits are gradually becoming the current standard, many vehicle applications have yet to be covered by these, so we continue to offer more traditional foot kits alongside the Rapid range, as a means by which to cover most vehicles, and as a cheaper alternative where budget is a major restriction.

Whilst these are a perfectly acceptable solution, equally as strong and durable as Rapid feet, we'd normally recommend their purchase only where a restricted application is to be catered for, or budget really cannot be increased. The general trend is moving towards Rapid kits, and development of parts and accessories for conventional kits is likely to reduce as time passes. As a result, purchasing a cheaper alternative now may well cost a great deal more in the long term. Purchasing a Rapid kit now means that, as and when you choose to change your vehicle, there's a much greater chance of being able to re-use parts from your existing kit with your new vehicle.
