FAQs

Are these bars compatible with all cars?

These bars are designed to be compatible with a wide range of vehicles, but you must ensure your car is equipped with suitable roof rails.

Does this set include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the SURT-086 comes fully pre-assembled with all necessary components and hardware included in the box.

Can I use these bars for non-TentBox items?

While optimized for TentBox, the reinforced aluminium profile is suitable for other roof-mounted accessories that fit standard bar dimensions.

How often should I check the tightness of the bolts?

It is recommended to check the hardware after the first 50 miles and periodically before long trips.

Is the material weather-resistant?

Yes, the aluminium construction is highly resistant to corrosion and typical outdoor weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Bars feel loose after initial installation

Re-check the torque on all mounting bolts and ensure the clamps are fully seated against the roof rails.

Excessive wind noise at highway speeds

Verify that the bars are correctly centered and that the rubber seals are properly seated in the T-slots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength reinforced aluminium construction
  • Comes fully pre-assembled for rapid installation
  • Designed specifically for TentBox roof tents
  • Includes all necessary fitting hardware

Cons

  • May not fit all vehicle roof rail types
  • Requires careful alignment during initial mounting
  • Specific to TentBox-style load requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SURT-086 is straightforward due to its pre-assembled state. Begin by verifying the distance between your vehicle's existing roof rails to ensure they align with the bar mounting points. Tighten all fittings evenly to distribute pressure across the rail clamps. For maintenance, periodically check that all bolts are tight, especially after the first 50 miles of driving following an initial installation. Clean the aluminium surface with mild soap and water to prevent oxidation, and ensure the rubber contact pads are free of debris to protect your vehicle's paintwork.
