Navara roof rack

A lad at the fencing suppliers the other day loaded a few battens onto the roof of his Navara and the thing snapped dumping the whole lot onto his roof. Made of chocolate

looks some what over loaded ,

Overloaded? If bars and rack can't take that, there's something wrong. However, the photos suggest there being no crossbars. What was the load actually rest on?

 

Ah, I see now. The plastic thing is a supporting lug. My opinion, is where there's such loading, the cross members ought not be simply bolted onto the bar's side/s. As this will result in all the downward loading being placed on the connecting bolts. Better that the crossbars rest on the long bars, thus spreading the loading over a greater area.

I think you will find they are styling bars and designed to take a maximum of 75kg.

I thought the load on the roof of the Navara was 150kg.
