The basic roof rack is ideal when even the oversized luggage compartment
typical of ŠKODA vehicles is not large enough to accommodate the items
you wish to transport. On account of its quality, proven reliability and
ease of use, the roof rack is the best solution for transporting bulky
items (e.g. sports equipment). Knowing that this is the case allows the
occupants to relax, even when the vehicle is fully loaded. The basic roof
rack is simply secured in the gap between the door and the side panel. It
is lockable, thereby deterring any thieves. The T-slot allows other lockable
transportation systems (such as bike racks, ski racks, ski and snowboard
boxes, luggage racks, etc.) to be fitted to the roof rack. The basic roof rack
is subjected to rigorous testing for durability, corrosion resistance and
impact resistance. The roof rack undergoes the City Crash Test to ensure
that it meets the necessary quality criteria. To pass the test, the rack
must remain secured to the vehicle body when carrying a load of between
90 and 120 kg and being subjected to overloading of around 12 G for 80
milliseconds. Another criterion for passing the City Crash Test is that none
of the items being transported becomes detached from the rack. This
guarantees maximum safety both for the vehicle's occupants and for other
road users in front of and behind the vehicle. The basic roof rack's load
capacity depends on the vehicle's maximum permissible roof load (including
rack). This can be found in the vehicle's documentation.
