If you would like to transport a roof box or bike carrier on the roof of your car, then roof bars are ideal. Some cars have a closed or flushed roof rail on their car's roof. In this case, your car has two rails along the length of the car. There is no space between the roof and the roof rails, they are integrated into the roof. Roof bars for a flushed roof rail are therefore very suitable for these types of cars.
The best roof bars for flushed roof rails
If you want to purchase roof bars for a flushed roof rail, please consider a few points. First of all, pay attention to the type of material. You can choose between steel and aluminium. Both materials meet all quality and safety requirements. Whether you choose for steel or aluminium, comes down to your own personal preferences.

- Lighter in weight.
