Product Information

Full details

The Summit SURT-081 Roof Bars are designed for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure travelers who require a robust, reliable mounting solution for heavy roof-mounted gear, specifically roof tents like TentBox. These reinforced aluminium bars provide exceptional load-bearing strength to ensure your sleeping setup remains secure during transit and while in use. While they offer superior durability for specialized equipment, they are purpose-built for heavy-duty applications and may require specific vehicle roof rail compatibility checks before installation.

FAQs

Are these bars compatible with all vehicles?

The SURT-081 is designed for compatibility with roof-tent systems; however, you must ensure your specific vehicle make and model has the correct roof rail configuration.

Can I use these bars for a roof box instead of a tent?

Yes, they are highly capable of supporting roof boxes, though they are specifically engineered to meet the higher weight requirements of roof tents.

Do I need special tools for installation?

No, the system comes pre-assembled with all necessary hardware included.

How much weight can these bars support?

These bars are reinforced for heavy-duty use; always check your vehicle's maximum roof load rating, as this is the ultimate limiting factor.

Are these bars rust-resistant?

Yes, the aluminium construction is naturally resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for year-round outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Bars feel loose after installation

Re-check the torque on all mounting bolts and ensure the rubber gaskets are correctly seated between the clamp and the roof rail.

Excessive wind noise

Verify the orientation of the bars and ensure that the end caps are fully secured and flush with the bar profile.

Pros and Cons

  • Tailored specifically for roof tent compatibility

Cons

  • Specific to roof-tent weight classes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SURT-081 is straightforward due to the pre-assembled nature of the bars. Ensure your vehicle's roof rails are clean and free of debris before mounting. Always double-check that the clamps are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to ensure a secure fit. To maintain the life of your bars, regularly inspect the mounting bolts for tightness after long journeys, especially after driving on rough or corrugated roads. Clean the aluminium surface with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to prevent road salt or environmental contaminants from causing oxidation.
