Fitting Kits

Fitting Kits are used to mount roof racks, roof platforms, bars and related accessories to compatible vehicles. They may include brackets, feet, clamps, pads, fasteners or other hardware required to connect a rack system to the vehicle’s roof or existing mounting points.

Brands such as Thule, Rhino Rack, Yakima, Rola and Prorack offer fitting kit options across many roof rack and platform systems. The correct kit depends on the vehicle, roof type, rack system and mounting method.

Why the Right Fitting Kit Matters

Roof rack and platform systems rely on the correct fitting kit to attach securely to the vehicle. Different vehicles may use factory rails, gutters, fixed points, tracks or clamp-style mounting, and the hardware needs to suit that roof design.

Fitting kits can also be system-specific. A kit designed for one rack brand or mounting style may not suit another, even if the vehicle application looks similar.

Fitting Kit Details That Matter

• Vehicle roof type: Match the kit to rails, gutters, fixed points, tracks or bare roof mounting.
• Rack system: Confirm compatibility with the roof bars, platform or legs being used.
• Included hardware: Check brackets, clamps, pads, fasteners and instructions supplied with the kit.
• Load rating: Consider the vehicle roof limit and rack system rating together.
• Accessory use: Touring gear, awnings or work accessories may increase load demands.
• Vehicle height: Allow for extra height once racks or platforms are fitted.
• System matching: Use compatible components from the same rack system where required.

Choosing the Right Fitting Kit

Choose a fitting kit that matches your vehicle and the roof rack system you are installing. If you are building a rack setup from separate parts, confirm the fitting kit, legs, bars or platform are designed to work together. Always check the product page for any specific notes.

Installation is also available if you would prefer your roof rack fitting kit supplied and fitted.
