Buy a roof rack and have it fitted

The question of the right material must also be asked. As a general rule, steel is more robust and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and more resistant to corrosion. To make the “right” decision here, you need to ask yourself what type of luggage you want to transport. An aluminium luggage rack is probably sufficient for light luggage. For heavier luggage, a steel one is recommended, but this also increases consumption.

Aluminium roof rack

An aluminium roof rack is perfect for light, bulky loads such as a roof box filled with your holiday luggage. Perfect for frequent use and long journeys where efficiency and weather resistance are important.

Steel roof bars

If a higher load capacity is required, steel roof bars are the best choice. They are more stable and best suited to demanding journeys with a lot of luggage. The disadvantages, however, are that they can corrode due to deep scratches and are less fuel-efficient due to their higher weight.
