Roof Bar Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed

You’ve got roof bars. Maybe a box or bike rack. But some of the best add-ons are the ones most people don’t know about — and once you use them, you won’t go back.

Here’s a roundup of underrated accessories that make a big difference.

🧲 Magnetic Pads

These simple rubber-backed pads:

• Reduce scratches from loading

• Add grip for awkward gear

• Cost less than a takeaway pizza

Add to any flat bar or rack.

🧼 Bar Storage Bags

Tired of roof bars rolling around the shed?

✅ Store your bars and clamps neatly
✅ Great for seasonal users
✅ Keeps kit dry and dust-free

🌧️ Rain Guards for Mount Points

If you remove your bars often, rain guards:

• Keep water out of exposed mounts

• Stop corrosion over time

• Add a cleaner finish to your car

Available for most flush rails & fixed points.

🧰 Emergency Mounting Kit

Lost a clamp on the road? Bent a bracket?
Having a mini mounting kit (bolts, T-track adaptors, rubber pads) in your glovebox can save the trip.

Ideal for:

• Campers

• Outdoor workers

• Road-trippers

🔐 Quick-Lock Adaptors

Add extra security to older bars or third-party boxes.
Universal locks + adaptors are cheap and keep your kit safe in public spaces.
