Unlikely I reckon but I’d like to see a picture if anyone has….
I wish I’d had a tow bar for my bike, better than on the roof

Don't the roofbars have a weight limit? 75kg? would not be enough for even a 1 person tent.

Was thinking same... I believe the overall weight limit on the roof is 90kg. I used that as my guide when fitting bars/bike rack/bikes etc.

Yes the weight limit is dynamic weight, meaning total weight of load when vehical is moving.
The actual weight up top can be far greater as the load points are directly applied to car safety cage built into every car.

Let me know your thought
