About this deal

Roof bars represent a cost-effective and convenient way of boosting your car’s carrying capacity. They enable you to transport longer or more bulky loads, and are a must if you need to mount a roof box or roof-mounted cycle carrier. Without the spike arrangement of the Mondeo, fitting the roofbars to the Mazda required a little more guesswork – that was down to the car, rather than the design of the roofbars. But once you’ve got your head around the positioning of the rubber-soled feet that steady the roofbars on the car, fitment is very straightforward. It just requires a bolt to be tightened using the supplied Allen key, although it’s hard to gauge exactly what the required 5Nm feels like using a basic hand tool. They’re rated to carry a maximum load of 60kg, but it’s best to take the car manufacturer’s recommendations into account. They don’t generate a great deal of noise at low speeds, but at more than 60mph, the air whips around them to produce a droning sound. But they’re easy to remove, and come with a clip to keep them fastened together and hang when not in use. Summit produce replacement mirrors glasses, towing mirrors, rear view mirrors, blind spot mirrors, car accessories, roof bars, roof bags,cycle carriers and dog guards.

The sleek design of the bars, together with rubber strips to ease airflow above and below the rails, means that wind noise is minimal, even at 60mph. Lightweight, durable and heavy duty aluminium roof bars. Designed for use with vehicles that feature raised roof rails fitted as standard, Mountney's Premium Roof Bars are not suitable for vehicles with solid roof rails. SpecificationsIn addition to the way roof bars attach, they also come in a range of sizes to accommodate the different widths of cars. Regardless of the roof bars that you buy, we have written a detailed guide on how to install them to your car. Within the guide, we installed the Thule WingBar Evo’s, which we rated as the best in this article after testing and research. Best Roof Bars Overview Aero bars exclusive to Thule: the most aerodynamic option. Made from aluminium, and reduce wind noise to a minimum. Also a bit more efficient for aerodynamics and therefore fuel consumption.

On the move, the SUP-071 and SUP-071A were both impressively quiet between 30mph and 60mph, but at slower speeds, they did generate a slight, almost musical sound as the wind passed through them. Still, it’s nothing that the radio or some conversation wouldn’t drown out. To rate the roof bars within this article, we based our recommendations on our experience of using multiple sets, plenty of research and a number of factors. Some of the factors that we considered included the loading widths, maximum load capacities, aerodynamics, construction quality, supplied hardware, ease of installation, warranty and value.
