To fit on Citroen C3 Picasso 2009 to 2016
Overview
This set of roof bars are ideal for improving the versatility of your vehicle. A tailor made fit guarantees an exact fit for your vehicle, they also come complete with locks and keys to ensure they are secure. They also come with full instructions making installation pretty easy even for a first timer.
Design
The La Prealpina bars have a very clever design which simply works! The kit consists of two Aluminium bar with an integrated T-track system. The foot kits are designed to fit each vehicle and follow the contours of the vehicle's bodywork. They are manufactured from steel and finished with an anti-corrosion thermo-setting powder coating. The kits are covered with a durable plastic casing which houses the lock mechanism. The roof bar kit is perfect for mounting all types of accessories such as roof boxes, surf boards or bike racks. Each roof rack is rated to hold an average of 60kgs. But it’s worth checking what your vehicle’s maximum load is as it can sometimes be less than what the bars can hold. To backup the quality the bars have been tried and tested and are TUV/SUD and GS approved.
For Normal Roof Only
This car comes in 2 versions, one with rails the other one without rails, this set of bars is for the car without roof rails, see image on left for a example of a normal roof without rails
Security
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.
Fitting
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.
Safety
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.

What other customers are saying
Roy Our C3 Picasso doesn't have factory fitted roof rails, and the PreAlpina roof bars were the only suitable bars I was able to find online. The kit comes as two essentially separate items - the bars and the mounting feet. Each is provided with its own set of instructions and you need to read both instructions together. The fact that said instructions are 90% diagrams and only 10% written instructions (translated from the Italian original, at that!) proved to be the only stumbling block. Once you have fully understood them it's really quite easy to fit the kit, and the resulting installation appears quite sturdy and doesn't look too bad at all.
Overall, I recommend this product to anyone wanting to fit bike carriers etc to a C3 Picasso without factory-fit roof rails.
Sherryl Found this on the internet and purchased it with the roof box at a special offer price. We thought the instructions a bit difficult to understand but soon worked out how to fit the bars. Worked wonderfully well with the top box and we had no wind noise either from the bars alone or with the box fitted. Gave us twice as much luggage space. Delivery was prompt so very happy all round. Great!
Colin Pros: Friendly service and very easy instructions to fit. Removal was just as easy making them perfect for occasional use. Highly rec'd.
Cons: None experienced.
Suzanne Pros: Fits the C3 picasso with no need for longitudinal bars!!! Very cost-effective, practical and works!
Cons: none
Steve Pros: Really suprised with the ease of fitment. Thought in time the bracketry would mark the paint in door aperature. They have been on and off now 5 times and still no markings.
Cons: A lit of wind noise when no roof box mounted
