Can a Roof Rack Be Installed Afterwards?
1 Answers
Vehicles originally without roof racks can have them installed afterward. After the relaxation of 16 modification items, installing roof racks is now a legal modification. Permitted installation categories include: 1. Automotive sport aerodynamic kits; 2. Vehicle running boards and front/rear crash guards; 3. Vehicle body reinforcement components (must comply with specified strengthening standards); 4. Vehicle interior/exterior decorations and body color changes (requires approval application); 5. Roof rack modifications and installations (must comply with modification standards). Below is the classification of roof racks (longitudinal rails and crossbars), with analysis for different longitudinal rail types: 1. Arch bridge style (divided into two-leg and three-leg support); 2. Flush-mounted style; 3. Groove-clamping style. These three types of roof racks have both vehicle-specific models and universal models depending on the vehicle type.
