As professional roof rack sellers, we often get the question: “How do I properly install a roof box?”
Installing a car roof cargo boxes on your vehicle can increase your storage space and make transporting luggage, camping gear, and other large items much easier.
Before installing, you must confirm whether your vehicle has roof racks cross bars, and if not, you need to install the cross bars.
Before you begin, make sure you have the tools and equipment to install it：
-Roof box.
-Roof rack (if not already installed).
-Mounting hardware.
-Screwdriver or wrench.
-Protective gloves.
Install the roof rack(if your vehicle does not already have one)
If your vehicle does not already have a roof rack installed, you will need to install one. Follow the manufacturer instructions for your specific roof rack model.
Positioning the roof box
Most roof boxes are mounted using either U-bolts or T-tracks.
-U-bolt system: Insert the U-bolts through the pre-drilled holes in the car roof box and around the roof rack bars. Tighten the nuts on the U-bolts to secure the roof box for car.
-T-track system: Insert the T-track adapter into the T-track of the roof rack. Align the roof box with the adapter and tighten the screws or bolts to secure it.
Once installed, check its stability
After installation, before loading items, check the overall stability again. Make sure all mounting hardware is secure and that it is firmly attached to the roof rack. Gently shake the roof box to ensure it does not move.
Loading items
After installation, you can start using it. When placing items, you need to place the items evenly to keep it balanced. You can place heavier items in the middle and lighter items on the sides. Do not exceed the stated weight limit.
Precautions during use
Make sure the weight of the items is evenly distributed so as not to affect the handling of the vehicle.
Be aware of height restrictions in parking lots, underpasses, and other low-clearance areas.
Close and securely lock the roof box to minimize wind resistance and noise.
Maintenance during use
Regularly inspect the roof box and mounting hardware for signs of wear. Clean the roof box with mild soap and water, and lubricate all moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
Following the steps above, you can safely and effectively install a roof box on your vehicle, enhancing your storage capabilities and making your travel more convenient.
