Roof Bars & compatibility with roof boxes Skoda Fabia 2013

Featured Replies

Hi, I need a pair of roof bars for my skoda Fabia 2013 TSI estate. Any suggestions for good value ones? Would they be compatible with roof boxes?

I bought a set of thule 120cm aero bars for my MK2 Fabia estate and used the thule 757 rapid fit kit that clamps direct to the roof rails they adjust with a lower clamp T bar handle that then locks into the clamp(if locks are fitted) I did buy a halfords make box as the thule box was rather expensive the box opens from the side and the fitting clamps go around under the bars simular to an exhast clamp and up into the inside of the box with plastic coated wing nuts the fitting position is adjustable with a few different hols available to use,but you could drill your own as there was a mounting plate that you use with the clamps inside they don't stick up much and I have used a large hallway type mat to line the bottom of the box when i use it, I changed the car to a MK3 estate the bars for this car were recommened as 118 cm long but when i saw the price of new bars £189 i thought that i would try the ones off the old car (120cm) which to be honest fitted ok I think the 120cm bars are the correct length for your car but don't buy the square bars they are very noisy the aero bars are very good for wind noise the newer wing bars are more quiet but you pay a lot more for these, have a look on the bay as you can get a good deal on a set of used bars and clamps , a friend bought a good box from Amazon but cannot remember the make now average cost for a decent box is around £230 again might be worth a look around after yu get the bars fitted as you can always travel to get it then most people would not want to post (size and cost)
