Normally considered as an afterthought once you’ve purchased your new or used car, the roof rack can be an important addition to your car and offer you a lot more ability to transport large items like suitcases or bicycles. And in case you weren’t sure, no roof box or bike mount can fit directly on factory-fitted roof rails, so it’s advisable to know what options are available. In general, most roof racks will fit around 98% of all vehicles. But bear in mind, there may be some exceptions where rain gutters are fitted on the car. This can easily be overcome by simply buying rain gutter-mounted racks and making adjustments accordingly.
