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.

Clamp mount roof racks offer a flexible solution for vehicles lacking factory-installed roof rails or fixed points. These systems typically rely on sturdy clamps that attach directly to the vehicle's door frame or door sill. The installation procedure entails carefully positioning these clamps and securing them tightly to establish a reliable connection.

Comprising two primary components - the clamp or strap, and the pad or base - these roof racks prioritize both stability and surface protection. The clamps are often outfitted with rubberized or padded surfaces to safeguard the vehicle's paintwork against scratches during installation. They're strategically positioned along the door frame or sill to ensure even weight distribution and a secure attachment. Meanwhile, the pad or base serves to cushion the foot of the roof rack onto the roof, providing grip and further shielding the vehicle's surface. Vehicle-specific kits include detailed instructions for proper positioning and bar spacing.

Once in place, the clamps are secured using screws or bolts to firmly grip onto the door frame or sill. Correct tightening is crucial to prevent any movement or shifting of the roof rack, particularly when the vehicle is in motion. For added security, certain roof rack systems incorporate locking mechanisms to deter theft of the rack or any cargo it carries. This ensures not only a dependable attachment but also peace of mind for users, knowing their belongings are safely secured during transit.

The Standard roof rack offers a simple and reliable solution for everyday use, crafted from corrosion-resistant aluminum for durability. Its through mount design extends the bar beyond the leg, providing extra width for accommodating wider loads. Although lacking an accessory channel for direct mounting, accessories can still be securely attached by clamping around the square bar. Installation is straightforward, reflecting the rack's user-friendly design. Additionally, locks are included for enhanced security, offering peace of mind during transportation. In summary, the Standard roof rack combines affordability with reliability, making it an excellent choice for everyday transportation needs.
