Question 1

Bars Design

Accepted Answer

The La Prealpina bars have a very simple design which simply works! The kit consists of two steel bars with a black non-slip, anti scratch PVC coating. The foot clamps are designed to fit your specific vehicle as they follow the contours of the bodywork. They are made from pressed steel and are finished with a long life anti-corrosion thermo-setting powder coating. The clamps are covered with a durable ABS plastic casing which also contains the lock, found on each mounting point. The bars are perfectly suited for mounting any accessories such as roof boxes, surf boards or bike racks using U-Bolts. While they are rated to hold as indicated below it’s worth checking what your vehicle’s maximum load is as it can sometimes be less than what the bars can hold. To back up the quality the bars have been tested and are TUV/SUD and GS approved.

Question 3

Fixed Points

Accepted Answer

This set of roof bars attaches to the original fixing points on this car, where possible we only use roofbar manufacturers that adhere to the original fixing points, it also looks better too and is a lot easier to fit, See example image to left of this, please note that this image is just an example of a fixed point kit, every fixed point system is slightly different

Question 4

Security

Accepted Answer

In contrast to many of our competitors who provide weak locks and keys, or charge additional fees for them, our roof bars come equipped with high-quality metal locks and keys at no extra cost. This not only serves as a highly effective deterrent against theft, but also grants you added peace of mind.

Question 5

Fitting

Accepted Answer

Because of their simple design the La Prealpina Exact-Fit bars are guaranteed an exact fit for your vehicle. This means they are really easy to install and fitting for the first time shouldn’t take more than 20-25 minutes. The Exact-fit kit is designed to follow the curvature of your vehicle (either door jamb or fixed point depending on your vehicle) so there is no getting it wrong. The bars are mounted evenly from one side to the other, making sure there is the same equal space either end. Once everything is set in place they can be tightened down with the Allen key which is provided. For extra security, there is a lock and key set provided which locks each mounting point securely to your vehicle.

Question 6

Safety

Accepted Answer

Please remember that it is your responsibility to make sure that every load you are carrying is safely secured to your vehicle. You must be aware of underground car parks and all overhead obstacles, roof bars, boxes and any associated loads add extra height to your vehicle. You must also be aware of cross winds and anything else that has the ability to affect the road handling of your vehicle. You have to be particularly aware of flexible loads such as surfboards, planks of wood etc, these must be properly tethered to the front and rear of your vehicle. Roof boxes must be loaded and used with due care.
