Top 9 popular models of roof racks for VAZ
Today, several manufacturers in Russia produce additional equipment for transporting bulky goods and sports equipment (bicycles, boats, skis) on passenger cars of the Volga Automobile Plant.
In order to buy a VAZ roof rack and not encounter difficulties when installing it, it is useful to collect information about what types of these products are produced by Russian companies.
Cheap models
This category includes the simplest types of cargo supports, designed primarily for VAZ classic models that have already been discontinued. The roof racks of the VAZ 2106, 2104 or the long-lived "Lada-penny" will be of this type.
ATLANT 8903 for VAZ LADA NIVA 2121 SUV 1977 - present rectangular arches without locks
The simplest option for securing cargo on the roof of domestic cars with a classic layout. Universal fastener with quick-release screw clamps for the gutter does not require special tools, installation and removal of the structure takes a few minutes.

This is convenient when you need to transport long items that do not fit in the passenger compartment (pipes, building materials, garden tools) and dismantle them after the trip. But this can also be considered a disadvantage, since no locks or secrets are provided to prevent theft. More often this roof rack is used on the roof of the VAZ 2104, Niva, Volga and other Soviet-made cars.
