When installing roof racks onto factory-fitted fixed points, the process revolves around utilizing these designated anchor points to establish a robust attachment system. These fixed points, which are strategically installed by the vehicle manufacturer, provide a reliable foundation for securely mounting roof racks. Typically located beneath removable covers or panels on the roof, these fixed points are engineered to withstand the weight and stresses associated with roof-mounted accessories.

To begin the installation, the covers or panels hiding the fixed points are removed, revealing the anchor points beneath. With the anchor points exposed, specialized mounting hardware, such as bolts or screws, is used to attach mounting feet or towers directly onto these fixed points.

Utilizing factory-fitted fixed points offers several advantages, including enhanced stability and load-bearing capacity. Since these fixed points are usually engineered by the vehicle manufacturer, they are specifically designed to support roof-mounted accessories like roof racks. This means that when roof racks are installed onto factory-fitted fixed points, they provide a sturdy platform for safely transporting various types of cargo during travel.

HD (Heavy-Duty) roof racks feature a robust and durable design engineered to handle heavier loads and withstand rugged conditions. These racks typically incorporate thicker and stronger crossbars, along with reinforced mounting systems, allowing them to support bulky items such as rooftop tents, construction materials, or large recreational gear like kayaks and snowboards.

HD bars are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, tradespeople, or anyone requiring a reliable roof rack solution for off-road adventures, construction work, or frequent heavy hauling. While they may sacrifice some aerodynamics compared to sleeker options, HD bars prioritize strength and versatility, making them a dependable choice for demanding tasks and challenging terrains.
