FAQs

Are these bars suitable for all vehicles?

These bars are designed for roof tent compatibility, but you must check your vehicle's make, model, and roof rail type to ensure proper fitment before installation.

Can I use these bars for a roof box instead of a tent?

Yes, the 20mm T-Track system is highly versatile and accommodates most standard roof boxes, bike carriers, and kayak racks.

What is the maximum weight limit?

While the bars themselves are highly reinforced, always defer to your vehicle manufacturer’s maximum roof load limit, as this is usually the limiting factor.

Do I need special tools for installation?

The bars come pre-assembled, so minimal tools are typically required, though a hex key is usually included for final tensioning.

What does TUV and GS certification mean?

These certifications mean the product has been independently tested and verified for safety, quality, and durability against international standards.

Troubleshooting

Increased wind noise at highway speeds

Ensure the T-Track slots are properly covered or filled with rubber channel strips to prevent air turbulence.

Bars feel slightly loose after heavy off-road use

Re-tighten the mounting clamps according to the specified torque settings and inspect the roof rail grip pads for wear.

Accessory does not fit the T-Track

Confirm that the accessory is compatible with a standard 20mm T-Track or use a compatible T-bolt adapter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SURT-099 is designed to be straightforward as the units arrive pre-assembled. Before mounting, ensure your vehicle's roof rails are clean and free of debris. Always verify the manufacturer's maximum roof load capacity for your specific vehicle, as the bars' strength should not exceed the vehicle's structural limit. To maintain the finish and structural integrity, regularly inspect the mounting bolts for tightness after the first 50 miles of travel and periodically check for any loose hardware. Clean the aluminium profile with mild soapy water to prevent oxidation and keep the T-Track clear of grit to ensure accessories slide in smoothly.
