Bars Design

The La Prealpina bars have a very simple design which simply works! The kit consists of two steel bars with a black non-slip, anti scratch PVC coating. The foot clamps are designed to fit your specific vehicle as they follow the contours of the bodywork. They are made from pressed steel and are finished with a long life anti-corrosion thermo-setting powder coating. The clamps are covered with a durable ABS plastic casing which also contains the lock, found on each mounting point. The bars are perfectly suited for mounting any accessories such as roof boxes, surf boards or bike racks using U-Bolts. While they are rated to hold as indicated below it’s worth checking what your vehicle’s maximum load is as it can sometimes be less than what the bars can hold. To back up the quality the bars have been tested and are TUV/SUD and GS approved.

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.

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

Rehana
Roof bar fits perfectly on my 2011 Dodge Caliber (vehicle purchased in BC, Canada). Assembly was fairly straightforward with two people. The cons are: 1) Plastic pieces feel flimsy, and some arrived scratched; 2) We had issues getting the locks in - eventually just muscled it in but not sure we'll ever get them back out; and 3) There's wind resistance/noise at higher speeds, but that's expected with this design. We tested it this weekend with kayaks, and there were no issues. Overall, I would recommend this roof rack - the price is great (considering other options were in the $300-$500 range) and it fits the vehicle really well.

Corey
Pros: For the price, this was an awesome purchase. Especially for a Dodge Caliber, of which I could find no affordable or viable solutions where I live for a roof rack solution. Cons: The rack was very easy to put together (total 10 minutes maybe), however when I went to put it on my Dodge Calilber's roof, it wasn't wide enough! <br /><br />Even when using the widest possible notch on the bar, it would not fit once so ever. I did end up fitting it by using a battery powered drill and a small drill bit to make one more notch on each end of the rod to make it fit nice a snuggly.<br /><br />Furthermore, my kits was missing two washers for one of the rods (no big deal though).<br /><br />*Note, I am from Alberta Canada so perhaps the model of Caliber differs slightly, so I don't want to put the fault on CarRacks. <br /><br />My exact car was a 2007 Dodge Caliber SRT.

Marina
Pros: overall very simple to install. Seems very sturdy. Cons: Locking mechanism had to be modify with a hammer to force the fit. Makes noise above 70km/h

Nicholas
Pros: Installed on a Dodge Caliber. Met all my needs to haul camping gear. Good Quality, easy to install. Cons: I could not get the locks to engage, but after using a flat tip screw driver I was able to pry the bracket where the lock engaged. Test the locks prior to installation.<br /><br />Also there is a wind vibration, but that is to be expected.<br /><br />Overall very happy with item.
