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.

Aero bars are not only aesthetically pleasing but also offer practical advantages, combining style with functionality. Their sleek, low-profile design not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also minimizes noise while maximizing fuel efficiency. They are easy to install, featuring a built-in T-slot that allows for quick attachment of various accessories such as kayak carriers or bike racks. Additionally, the inclusion of locks provides added security and peace of mind for users.
Whether opting for the Aero Flush for a stylish complement to the vehicle, Aero Through for expanded carrying capacity, or Aero Rail for compatibility with roof rails, these bars offer versatility and convenience for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers alike.
