⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Improperly fitted cross bars can loosen at highway speeds, scratch your roof, or damage mounting rails. Professional installation ensures proper alignment, torque, and even load distribution — keeping your gear and your vehicle safe.
How This is Done
We install every cross bar system precisely and carefully to ensure it fits perfectly and performs reliably.
1. Inspect Roof Mounting Points
Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s rails or fixed points.
2. Assemble Cross Bar Components
Attach feet, clamps, or towers based on your rack system.
3. Position & Align Cross Bars
Measure spacing for stability and aesthetics.
4. Secure & Torque Hardware
Tighten all fasteners to manufacturer specifications.
5. Final Fit Check
Confirm alignment, clearance, and accessory readiness.

“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
