Frequently asked questions
A roof rack is a system of bars or structures that are fitted to the roof of a vehicle, extending its carrying capacity. They are typically used for items that don't fit in the boot, such as bicycles, surfboards, roof boxes, ladders, and so on.
They can broadly be grouped into three categories: - Crossbar roof racks, which are the most common; two bars that sit across the roof of the vehicle. - Longitudinal roof racks, which are bars that run along the length of the roof with a more robust structure. - Roof racks designed to carry a specific item, such as bicycles.
The roof racks available in our online store are parts we have removed from vehicles that were destined for the salvage yard. You can find options for cars, vans, and used 4x4 roof racks. They have been carefully uninstalled and their condition verified, so you can get a great deal if you don't want to spend what a new one would cost.
First and foremost, you need to check your car's model to make sure the rack is compatible with your vehicle's roof. You'll find all the details on the product listing, though you can always go for a universal roof rack model. Also consider the load weight. Carrying bicycles or work tools is very different from transporting heavy items like furniture. Finally, keep aerodynamics in mind. You may not be aware, but an aerodynamic roof rack reduces fuel consumption and noise.
Absolutely. Installing a roof rack on a vehicle is quite straightforward. The only thing you need to make sure of is that it is securely fastened to the car's roof to avoid any accidents.
The main reason is that it will cost you significantly less than buying a new one. Since we inspect them thoroughly, even though it's used, we guarantee it will be in excellent condition. The second reason is that you have the option of choosing a universal model, or you'll find it easier to track down one that's compatible with your specific vehicle. In short, buying a used roof rack for your car means saving a little extra that you could put toward something else — or toward another part for your car from our online store.
