Alternatively, you could always do it yourself with an adjustable spanner and a screwdriver. Firstly, fit the roof bars to the roof of the car, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully and taking care not to damage the roof rails or rain gutters. Next, find the right position for the box on the vehicle and fasten it to the roof bars. Roof boxes need to sit centrally on the roof, so that the load weight is evenly distributed. Place a roof box too near to the front and it could dip forward; too far back and it could impede the opening of a hatchback. To reduce uplift pressure when driving, the roof box should be parallel to the road with a minimum clearance of 10cm from the roof - any less and a whistling noise may be generated. When packing a roof box, heavy objects should be loaded as centrally as possible to distribute the weight of the load evenly. Secure luggage to prevent it from moving around and never exceed the maximum roof load prescribed by the manufacturer. Finally, you will need to modify your driving. As your car's height and weight will increase when a roof box is fitted, it will be more sensitive to crosswinds, and the shift in the vehicle's centre of gravity will require extra care when cornering and braking. Remember to take care with low garage doorways and height restrictions, now that your car has increased in height by up to 60cm. back halfordscompany.com | terms of use | terms & conditions of sale | privacy … Brompton Folding Bicycles • Autotrader Bikes • Ripspeed Halfords • Bikes UK • Cheap Motocross Bikes • Cycle Shops • Raleigh • Recycle Bicycles • Spin Bikes • Mini Motor Bikes • Used Bikes UK • Montain Bikes • Mens Bicycles • Buy A Bike • Falcon Bikes • Girls On Bikes • Diamond Back Bikes • Raliegh Bikes • Halfords Superstores • Race Bikes For Sale • Titanium Bikes • Dutch Bicycles • Titanium Bicycles • Moulton Bikes • We The People Bikes •
