Product Information

Full details

The Summit SURT-100 Roof Bar System is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and campers who require a robust, reliable foundation for mounting heavy equipment such as roof tents. Engineered with premium reinforced aluminium, these bars offer superior durability for off-road or overland travel; however, users should ensure their specific vehicle roof load capacity matches the tent and bar weight combined before installation.

FAQs

Are these bars compatible with all roof tents?

The SURT-100 is specifically engineered for compatible roof tents like TentBox; please verify your specific tent model's mounting requirements.

Can I install these by myself?

Yes, because the bars come pre-assembled, they can be installed by one person, though having a second person to help lift and position them is recommended.

Do I need special tools for installation?

The system comes with the necessary components in the box, though a standard torque wrench is recommended to ensure correct tightening.

How often should I check the connections?

It is best practice to check the security of the mounting hardware before every long journey and periodically during the camping season.

Can these bars be left on the vehicle permanently?

Yes, they are designed for durability; however, removing them when not in use can improve vehicle fuel efficiency.

Troubleshooting

Bars feel loose after installation

Verify that all clamping bolts are tightened to the correct torque and ensure the rubber mounting pads are correctly seated against the roof rails.

Excessive wind noise at speed

Check that the bars are correctly centered and that all end caps are securely attached to prevent air from whistling through the aluminium channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SURT-100 is designed to be straightforward due to the pre-assembled nature of the product. Simply verify that your vehicle's roof rails are clean, align the bars according to the specific mounting points for your vehicle model, and tighten the included fasteners to the manufacturer-specified torque settings. For care, periodically check that all mounting bolts remain tight, especially after long drives or travel on rough roads. Clean the aluminium surfaces with a mild detergent and water to prevent oxidation, and avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the protective finish.
