Bars and mounting kits
Roof bars and mounting kits form an integrated system: the chosen bar (square, aero, or flat profile) must be paired with the kit compatible with the vehicle's roof type. It is advisable to first choose the kit specific to the model and year of registration, then the length and profile of the bars. Leggi la guida

How to choose roof bars and mounting kits for your car
The roof type determines the mounting kit
The starting point is always the vehicle's roof type. The main mounting systems are:
- Flush rail (flush-mounted roof rail): the kit attaches directly to the longitudinal rail recessed in the bodywork, without protruding rubber pads.
- Raised rail: the kit attaches under the rails already present on the roof, with height-adjustable feet.
- Fixpoint: the vehicle has manufacturer-designed anchor points; the kit includes model-specific adapters.
- Clamp (gutter or clamp): the feet tighten onto the roof edge or gutter, without drilling.
Compatibility by make and year
Each mounting kit is designed for a specific combination of make, model, and year of manufacture. Always check the year of registration and the body style (sedan, station wagon, SUV, minivan) because even versions of the same model may require different kits. Nordrive, Thule, Fabbri, and Yakima publish compatibility guides that allow you to identify the correct code.
Bar profile and length
The bars are mainly distinguished by their cross-section:
- Square or rectangular section: compatible with most accessories (bike racks, ski racks, roof boxes). Robust and versatile.
- Aerodynamic profile (wingbar, silenzio, supra): reduces air resistance and noise at highway speeds; often requires specific adapters for accessories.
- Edge/flush profile: integrates almost flush with the roof; suitable for cars with a very low profile.
The length of the bars must fit within the useful width of the roof; model-specific kits already indicate the recommended size.
Material and finish
Aluminum is the dominant material because it combines lightness and corrosion resistance. The available finishes are mainly silver and black. Some systems integrate the bar into the foot for a cleaner profile; others feature the bar and foot as separate elements to be matched.
System load capacity
The maximum load capacity is indicated by the manufacturer and must not exceed the approved roof load value stated in the vehicle's manual. The load capacity of the complete system is determined by the most limiting element among the bars, kit, and roof.
