Top Roof Bar Accessories for Everyday Use

Roof bars aren’t just for road trips or camping holidays — they’re a versatile upgrade that can simplify everyday life.
With the right accessories, you can turn your car, van, or SUV into a more practical, secure, and organised vehicle — whether you're commuting, doing DIY, or heading to the gym.

Here are the top roof bar accessories for daily use — ideal for getting more out of your setup, all year round.

🔐 1. Roof Bar Locking Kits

Security first.
If your roof bars or accessories are removable, you’ll want a locking kit to deter theft. These include:

• Lockable end caps

• Anti-theft bolts

• Tamper-proof covers

🎒 2. Roof Bar Cargo Nets & Straps

For everyday use — like moving boxes, work tools or gym bags — a simple cargo net and some strong tie-down straps will keep things safe and secure.

✅ Easy to stash in your boot
✅ Great for DIY runs, festivals, or last-minute jobs
✅ Reusable, durable and weatherproof

Pro tip: Always tie down items, even for short drives.

💨 3. Wind Deflectors

If you’ve ever driven with an empty roof bar setup, you’ve probably noticed whistling wind noise at higher speeds.

Adding a wind deflector:

• Reduces drag

• Lowers road noise

• Improves fuel economy

💧 4. Rubber Feet & Anti-Vibration Pads

Protect your paintwork and keep everything snug with anti-slip pads or rubber mounting feet.
Especially useful for users who:

• Regularly install/remove their bars

• Want to prevent surface wear

• Need to cushion loads like ladders or wood

🧲 5. Multi-Mount Brackets

If you use your vehicle for work, you’ll love these.
Multi-mount brackets let you attach:

• LED lighting bars

• Roof baskets

• Awning arms

• Bike fork mounts or pole holders

They slide into the T-track of aluminium bars, making it easy to swap between configurations.
