Does installing a roof rack on an SUV require registration?
1 Answers
Installing a roof rack on an SUV requires registration. More relevant information is as follows: Height requirements: For passenger cars, the height of cargo loaded on the roof rack must not exceed 0.5 meters from the roof or 4 meters from the ground. If the vehicle originally has a roof rack and a roof box is installed, it is legal as long as it does not exceed half a meter; or if the loaded items do not exceed half a meter, it is also legal. Otherwise, it is illegal. Note: Adding a roof rack is not illegal, and there are no issues whether driving on urban roads or highways. Of course, there are some restrictions for roof boxes. Placing a bicycle on the roof rack is not allowed. Although this is often seen in some European and American countries, it is not permitted in China due to significant differences in conditions (posing safety hazards).
