Fitting roof racks onto a "Flush Rail" system involves a meticulous process focused on achieving both aesthetic appeal and functional reliability. Flush rails, characterized by their low-profile design sitting close to the vehicle's roof, offer a sleek and streamlined appearance. Roof racks tailored for flush rails are intricately engineered to seamlessly integrate with this style while providing a sturdy platform for carrying various types of cargo.

During installation, the roof racks are directly attached onto the flush rails using specialized mounting components. These components are meticulously crafted to snugly embrace the contours of the rails, ensuring a tight and secure fit. To safeguard against potential damage, many mounting systems incorporate rubberized or padded surfaces, offering protection for both the flush rails and the vehicle's roof during installation and subsequent use. Given the diversity in shapes and sizes of flush rails across different vehicle models, it's crucial to select a roof rack kit that matches your vehicle specifications to ensure compatibility.

Once the mounting feet or towers are firmly affixed to the flush rails, crossbars are then installed across the width of the vehicle's roof. Serving as the fundamental framework for the roof rack system, these crossbars provide the base upon which cargo carriers, bike racks, or other accessories can be securely mounted. Depending on the specific vehicle model, the crossbars may feature adjustable mechanisms along the length of the rails, offering flexibility in positioning to accommodate various cargo sizes and shapes.

When installing roof racks onto factory-fitted fixed points, the process revolves around utilizing these designated anchor points to establish a robust attachment system. These fixed points, which are strategically installed by the vehicle manufacturer, provide a reliable foundation for securely mounting roof racks. Typically located beneath removable covers or panels on the roof, these fixed points are engineered to withstand the weight and stresses associated with roof-mounted accessories.

To begin the installation, the covers or panels hiding the fixed points are removed, revealing the anchor points beneath. With the anchor points exposed, specialized mounting hardware, such as bolts or screws, is used to attach mounting feet or towers directly onto these fixed points.

Utilizing factory-fitted fixed points offers several advantages, including enhanced stability and load-bearing capacity. Since these fixed points are usually engineered by the vehicle manufacturer, they are specifically designed to support roof-mounted accessories like roof racks. This means that when roof racks are installed onto factory-fitted fixed points, they provide a sturdy platform for safely transporting various types of cargo during travel.

Aero bars are not only aesthetically pleasing but also offer practical advantages, combining style with functionality. Their sleek, low-profile design not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also minimizes noise while maximizing fuel efficiency. They are easy to install, featuring a built-in T-slot that allows for quick attachment of various accessories such as kayak carriers or bike racks. Additionally, the inclusion of locks provides added security and peace of mind for users.
Whether opting for the Aero Flush for a stylish complement to the vehicle, Aero Through for expanded carrying capacity, or Aero Rail for compatibility with roof rails, these bars offer versatility and convenience for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers alike.
