Side Rails & Attachment

Side rails are also known as roof rails spread along the vehicle's roof to provide an attachment point for crossbars, roof racks, and other devices designed to secure loads carried on the vehicle's roof. The feet or other mounts attach the roof rails to the vehicle's roof. Roof rails equipped with roof racks and carrying systems provide a stable mount to add other load-carrying items such as crossbars or towers with various loads. A roof rack is a set of bars attached to the car's roof rail that carries items such as luggage, bicycles, canoes, kayaks, skis, or various carriers and containers. Roof rails and roof racks are made of high-quality materials with minimum contact points supporting large amounts of weight on the car's roof. When attached to the roof rails, the Roof rack allows users of an automobile to transport objects on the roof of the vehicle without reducing interior space for occupants, or the cargo area volume limits such as in the typical car's trunk design. The primary purpose of roof rails is to carry luggage but includes car-top weatherproof containers and some designed for specific cargo such as skis, cargo box, or luggage. For taking the load, additional attachments are required to support roof rail that is not involved in improving the car's aerodynamics. Other fitments in the market are cross members or roof boxes attached to the roof rail. Separate roof boxes and bags are also available, which connect directly to roof rails without cross members' needs. Roof rails are manufactured from aluminum extrusions that are attractive, low weight, and high strength that hold additional roof carrier which carries extra loads during outdoor trips.

The roof rails run along the length of the roof of the vehicle. Its purpose is to provide a point of attachment for crossbars, roof racks and other devices designed to secure loads carried on the vehicle's roof.

Roof rails are fastened by feet or other mounts to the roof of the vehicle. Vehicles are fitted with roof rails to facilitate installation of different types of roof racks and carrying systems. Roof rails aren't a roof carrying system themselves. Instead, the roof rails provide a stable mount for attaching other load carrying objects, such as cross bars or towers that can be used to carry different loads. When attached to the roof rails, the Roof rack enables automobile users to carry bulky items on the vehicle's roof, such as luggage, bicycles, canoes, kayaks, skis, or various carriers and containers.

The Roof rail is mounted on both sides of the roof, allowing automobile users to transport bulky items after a few attachments.
