Specifications

Why fit roof rails?

Roof rails are one of the most useful upgrades for a van or pickup. They add a clean, finished look along the roof line and give you a solid base for cross bars, ladder racks, roof boxes and carriers. For tradespeople that means more space for ladders, lengths of pipe and timber, keeping the load area free for tools and stock.

A matching set of rails also helps a working vehicle look smarter on the road and on site, which is why so many owners fit them even when they only carry loads occasionally. They are just as popular on pickups and leisure vans used for bikes, kayaks and camping kit at the weekend.

Roof rails, cross bars and roof racks

Roof rails run along the length of the roof. On their own they are mainly a styling and mounting feature. To carry a load across the roof you need cross bars, which clamp between the two rails. Roof boxes, ladder clamps and other carriers then fit to the cross bars.

This listing is compatible with optional cross bars, so you can build up a complete system. Always check that any cross bars or carriers you use suit the profile and spacing of your rails.

Loading safely

Never exceed the load rating given for your rails, cross bars or your vehicle roof, whichever is lowest. Spread the weight evenly, strap every load down securely and check the straps again after the first few miles.

A loaded roof raises the centre of gravity and can affect handling in crosswinds, so allow extra room when braking and cornering. Remember the added height when using car parks, drive-throughs and garages.

Fitting and care for the Caddy Maxi Roof Rails Black

Before fitting, clean the roof and the mounting points thoroughly. Follow the instructions supplied, tighten every fixing evenly and re-check them after the first few journeys and at regular intervals afterwards.

Wash the rails along with the rest of the vehicle using a pH-neutral shampoo and a soft mitt. Rinse off road salt and grime regularly to keep the finish looking its best.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need cross bars as well? To carry most loads, yes. The rails provide the mounting point and cross bars span the roof between them.

Can I fit the Caddy Maxi Roof Rails Black myself? Most owners with basic tools can fit rails that use the original mounting points. Always follow the supplied instructions.

How do I choose the right version? Match the model, year, body style and wheelbase of your vehicle to the fitment details above.
