FAQs

Are these bars compatible with all vehicle makes?

The SURT-016 is designed for specific compatibility. Please verify your vehicle model and mounting type before purchase.

Do I need special tools to install them?

The bars arrive pre-assembled, but you may require basic hand tools if your vehicle's specific roof points require them.

Can I use these for other accessories like bike racks?

While designed for roof tents, the bars are compatible with many standard roof accessories that fit aluminium bar profiles.

How often should I check the tightness of the bolts?

It is recommended to check the hardware before every major trip and periodically if the bars are left permanently on the vehicle.

Is the aluminium finish weather-resistant?

Yes, the aluminium profile is designed to be durable and resistant to the elements, though regular cleaning helps maintain its longevity.

Troubleshooting

Bar feels loose after installation

Re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened according to the recommended torque specifications provided in your vehicle's manual.

Excessive wind noise while driving

Ensure the bars are correctly positioned and verify that no components were installed backward; readjust the position slightly to optimize aerodynamics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the pre-assembled nature of the product. Simply align the bars with your vehicle's specific mounting points, tighten the included hardware, and verify that all connections are snug before placing your tent on top. Regarding care, regularly inspect the mounting bolts before each trip to ensure they remain tight. Clean the aluminium profiles periodically with a mild detergent and water to remove road salt or debris, which can cause oxidation over time if left unaddressed. Always store the key for your bar locks in a safe, accessible location.
