Roof Kits

Upgrade your vehicle with a dependable, quiet, and easy-to-use roof rack system. Our Roof Kits collection focuses on vehicle-specific racks and carriers that attach to raised roof rails for strong, secure cargo mounting. Whether you want to carry bikes, a roof box, or weekend gear, these aluminum, black-finished systems combine aerodynamic efficiency with everyday usability and security.

Featured application: 2018–2023 Subaru Crosstrek roof rack and bike carrier sets. If you own a Crosstrek with factory raised rails, you can outfit your vehicle with a sleek, removable crossbar and bike-mount solution designed around your roof geometry for confident, rattle-free transport.

What’s in a Roof Kit?

Each kit in this collection is curated for practicality and peace of mind. You’ll find lightweight aluminum crossbars and mounts finished in black for a refined OEM-like look. Design priorities include an aerodynamic profile that helps reduce wind noise, a user-friendly clamp system for quick on/off, and robust hardware with anti-theft features to deter tampering. Components are water-resistant or waterproof to stand up to rain, snow, and road spray, so you can load up year-round.

Because these are vehicle-specific roof rack and bike carrier sets, they’re shaped to fit your factory raised roof rails. The result: a secure interface, better weight distribution, and a cleaner install with fewer compromises versus one-size-fits-all solutions.

Compatibility and Fitment

These Roof Kits are engineered for vehicles equipped with raised roof rails. Raised rails are the type you can wrap your hand under; they create a natural channel for strong, clamping crossbar mounts and simplify alignment across the roof. If your vehicle uses a different roof style (e.g., flush rails or a bare roof), review individual product pages for compatibility notes and required hardware, or contact support before ordering.

Example: 2018–2023 Subaru Crosstrek

Our best-selling kit serves the 2018–2023 Subaru Crosstrek. It aligns to the factory raised rails, uses a contoured aluminum crossbar to maintain aerodynamics, and includes a bike carrier option to move your ride safely. Installation is straightforward: position the crossbars, clamp to the rails, center and square the system, then tighten evenly to the recommended torque noted on the product page.

Load Ratings and Roof Types

Always follow two numbers: your vehicle’s roof load rating (from the owner’s manual) and the rack’s published rating on the product page. Do not exceed the lower of the two. Many raised-rail applications are designed around typical dynamic roof limits; if you plan to use a rooftop tent or carry heavy gear, also consider static load and distribute weight evenly. These kits are primarily intended for raised roof rails; confirm compatibility if you have flush rails or a bare roof.

Why Drivers Choose Our Roof Kits

• Aerodynamic aluminum construction: Lightweight for easier handling and improved fuel efficiency, with a streamlined profile to reduce wind noise compared to boxy, generic bars.
• Durability in all seasons: Anodized or coated black finishes and sealed hardware deliver water-resistant and waterproof performance that resists corrosion and keeps moving parts working smoothly.
• Anti-theft confidence: Integrated security features help safeguard your investment and your gear when parked.
• Vehicle-specific fit: Purpose-built clamps and brackets for raised rails ensure a safer interface and faster installation.
• Removable and user-friendly: Mount or remove the system in minutes so you only run crossbars when you need them.

Installation: Fast, Secure, and Repeatable

Most kits install with basic hand tools. Set the front bar to the specified distance behind the windshield, align the rear bar to the recommended crossbar spread, then clamp to the raised rails. Tighten evenly until secure—do not over-torque. After loading gear, drive a few miles and recheck hardware. The aerodynamic design helps minimize humming, and the black aluminum blends with factory trims for a clean look.

Carry What You Love

From bikes to boxes, boards, and baskets, you can configure the system for your sport and season. Our bike rack carrier options pair with the crossbars to hold your bikes upright, while the crossbars also accept a wide range of accessories such as cargo baskets, ski/snowboard mounts, and rooftop cargo boxes. The waterproof and water-resistant designs, plus the durable aluminum construction, make these kits ideal for year-round commuting and adventure travel.

About “Roof kits for mobile homes” vs. vehicle roof rack kits

People sometimes search for roof kits for mobile homes when they’re really looking for vehicle roof rack systems. This collection is for automotive roof rack kits—crossbars and carriers that mount to raised roof rails on cars, crossovers, and SUVs. If you arrived here after searching “roof kits for mobile homes,” note that mobile home roofing products are entirely different building materials and are not sold in this collection. Our focus is vehicle-ready, removable rack systems for transporting gear safely.

All-Weather Reliability

Every kit in this collection is designed to handle rain, snow, and sun. Water-resistant and waterproof materials, sealed endcaps, and corrosion-resistant aluminum help protect your vehicle and your gear. The result is reliable performance through daily commutes and long road trips alike, with the safety you expect from a vehicle-specific system.

FAQ

Is this the same as roof kits for mobile homes?

No. These are vehicle roof rack kits for cars, crossovers, and SUVs with raised roof rails. Mobile home roof kits are building materials for residential structures and are not part of this collection.

What does a kit typically include?

Most kits include two black aluminum crossbars, vehicle-specific mounts for raised roof rails, all necessary hardware, and user-friendly instructions. Select bundles add a bike rack carrier designed to interface with the crossbars for secure bike transport.

How much weight can I carry on the roof?

Always follow the lower of your vehicle’s roof load rating and the rack’s rating listed on the product page. Distribute weight evenly, keep heavy items centered and low, and re-check fasteners after your first few miles. If you’re considering rooftop tents or very heavy loads, verify both dynamic and static load limits.

Will these kits fit my 2018–2023 Subaru Crosstrek?

Yes—our best-selling setup is designed for the 2018–2023 Crosstrek with factory raised roof rails. Confirm fitment details and any year-specific notes on the product page before purchasing.

Are the racks easy to install and remove?

Yes. The raised-rail clamp design enables quick installation with basic tools. Most customers can mount or remove the crossbars in minutes. Always follow the provided torque and spacing guidance for safe results.

How do the anti-theft features work?

Kits include integrated security measures such as locking mechanisms or protected fasteners to help deter tampering. Use all provided security features and avoid leaving valuables on the rack when unattended for extended periods.

Will the crossbars create wind noise?

The aerodynamic aluminum profile is engineered to minimize wind noise compared to square or round bars. Proper spacing, accessory placement, and using included endcaps also help reduce airflow noise at highway speeds.

What if I saw a question about the cost of a new roof in Arkansas?

That question relates to residential roofing, not vehicle racks. For pricing on automotive roof kits, refer to each product page. You’ll see current prices, stock status, and what’s included in the box.
