Before you order: measure rail thickness, check the material, and confirm your static load rating (especially for rooftop tents).

Choosing the right roof cross bars starts with your vehicle

Before you invest in a rooftop tent, cargo box, bike rack, or canopy, make sure your cross bars are the right fit.

Here's what you need to consider:
✔️ Your vehicle's roof type
✔️ Dynamic vs. static load capacity
✔️ Steel vs. aluminum construction
✔️ Universal vs. vehicle-specific systems
✔️ Accessory compatibility and installation requirements

The right cross bars provide a secure foundation, better performance, and long-term reliability. The wrong choice can lead to fitment issues, unnecessary returns, and compromised safety.

👉 Read our latest blog to learn how to choose the right roof cross bars for your vehicle before you buy.

Flush Rails or Raised Rails? Know Before You Buy

Not all roof rails are the same. Before choosing cross bars, identify whether your vehicle has flush rails (no gap underneath) or raised rails (visible gap beneath the rail). The right fit ensures a secure installation for rooftop tents, cargo boxes, bikes, and more.
