Product Information

Full details

The Summit SURT-017 Roof Bars are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, heavy-duty mounting solution for roof tents. Developed in direct collaboration with TentBox, these bars offer superior structural integrity and stability for off-road or camping adventures. While they provide a premium, pre-assembled experience for quick mounting, users should note that they are specifically engineered for roof tent compatibility rather than general-purpose light-duty roof racks.

FAQs

Are these bars compatible with all roof tents?

The SURT-017 is specifically designed for roof tent compatibility and works seamlessly with TentBox, though fitment should always be verified against your specific tent's mounting system.

Do I need special tools to install them?

The bars come pre-assembled, and all essential hardware is included. Standard hand tools are typically all that is required for final securing.

Can I use these for standard roof boxes?

While technically possible, these are heavy-duty, reinforced bars intended for roof tents. They may be overkill for lightweight roof boxes.

Are these bars waterproof?

The bars are constructed from durable materials designed to withstand weather; however, they are not sealed against water ingress at connection points, which is standard for external vehicle equipment.

How often should I check the connections?

It is recommended to check the tightness of all bolts before any long journey and at every campsite setup.

Are there other sizes available in this range?

Yes, Summit offers several variants such as the SURT-016 and SURT-212 to accommodate different vehicle roof widths and specifications.

Troubleshooting

Bar feels loose after initial mounting

Re-check the tension on all primary fasteners and ensure the mounting brackets are seated flush against the roof rails.

Difficulty aligning with roof rails

Ensure the roof rails on your vehicle are clear of debris and confirm the bar width matches your specific vehicle's mounting span.

Vibration or noise at highway speeds

Verify that the bars are installed in the correct orientation and that all bolt covers or caps are snapped firmly into place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Expertly designed for heavy roof tent loads
  • Time-saving pre-assembled construction
  • Reliable, high-build quality from Summit
  • Simplified installation with all parts included

Cons

  • Specific to roof tent use cases
  • May require vehicle-specific fitment checks
  • Heavier than standard consumer-grade bars

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SURT-017 is straightforward thanks to the pre-assembled nature of the bars. Begin by verifying the mounting points on your vehicle's roof rails. Slide the bars into position and secure the fasteners according to the provided hardware instructions. Always use a torque wrench if possible to ensure fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended specifications.

For ongoing care, inspect the mounting hardware after the first 50 miles of travel with a tent attached to ensure no settling has occurred. Clean the bars with mild soap and water, and avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the finish. Always store in a dry, covered area if removed from the vehicle during off-season months.
