One of the advantages of cars is their ability to transport various goods. This is especially true for travelers, by nature -romantics, and children of nature. Cargo transportation involves the presence of trunk on a car. But not always its functions are commensurate with oversized loads.
In addition, the trunk is not provided by the manufacturer, since it is considered additional equipment, although the places for its fastening are provided for absolutely all cars of cars. And the appearance of a stationary trunk, especially for a tuned modern car, say, is far from aesthetics.
Special devices helped to solve this problem, the roof rails. They are parts in the form of racks. Some types of luggage during transportation are fixed directly on the rails. For the transportation of more voluminous cargoes, additional arcs are attached first, and only then the load is laid on them. Railings allow you to transport non -standard goods that have a small mass, but large dimensions.
If necessary, the trunk can be installed on the rails. Moreover, you can perform this operation in a matter of seconds. These elements do not worsen the appearance of the car, but on the contrary give it elegance and completeness. In addition, they are a reliable protection of the roof of the car from minor damage, for example, fallen branches.
Railings are made of modern high -quality materials, aluminum alloys or steel, as well as plastic. For their acquisition, it should be taken into account what kind of cargo is supposed to be transported.
Types of railings
There are two types: transverse and longitudinal, each of which has its own functional purpose. The difference between them consists only in the place of installation. Railing fasteners are of great importance. The best option is the performance of steel fasteners, which largely extends the service life.
Installation
You can install rails on almost any car model, whether Chevrolet, Ford or Nissan. The main condition for the qualitative installation of these accessories is the right choice suitable for this car brand.
Many modern cars are already equipped with rails, especially SUVs and minibuses. But since the installation of the rails is not difficult, it can be done independently.
To do this, just start the equipment in the grooves and snap clothespins. In some cases, you will need a wrench for tightening fastening. If there is no mount for rails, you must seek help to the service center.
The main advantage of using the rails on the roof of the car is to prevent direct contact between the roof and trunk, which significantly reduces the likelihood of damage to the car paint.
Car roof rails are a wonderful alternative to obsolete stationary trunk, which will help not only cope with the transportation of unbearable goods, but also complement the appearance of the car with modern fashion elements.
