The optimum ratio of price and quality
Expensive models

The coating of the structure retains its color for a long time: it is resistant to ultraviolet rays and aggressive salts. The special profile and tight mount reduces drag and completely eliminates wind noise during the ride and eliminates shaking. This trunk has a record assembly time: only 5 minutes; attaches very easily. Includes a T-slot for accessories. You can install locks against illegal removal of cargo and the trunk itself.

The roof rack "Skoda" is selected depending on requests, price and quality. Airboxes come in different types and are classified according to the method of attachment. The presented top of 9 options is compiled with a focus on the main characteristics.

Budget trunks for Skoda

Most utility car owners prefer inexpensive versions of luggage carriers. The box, which is installed on the roof, is a structure that is attached to the corners with crossbars with different sections. On each rubber part, the place of attachment is often indicated in Russian and English (for example, at the Skoda Rapid roof rack). Device advantages:

new luggage space;
the assembly process takes half an hour, and the structure is disassembled in a few minutes;
to travel it is not necessary to buy an expensive car with a large luggage compartment.

Before installation, the space for boxing must be washed and dried.

The type of roof affects the load capacity. If the trunk is used constantly, then once every six months it is necessary to check the condition of the entire system and fasteners. The design of the load accessories does not spoil the look of the machine. For example, a Skoda Rapid roof rack with a box makes the car look more impressive. Let's look at inexpensive options.

3rd place: Lux - roof rack D-LUX 1 for Skoda Superb 2 sedan 2008-2015, behind the doorway, aerodynamic bars

Roof rack "Skoda Superb" 2 generations (2008-2015) from the manufacturer Lux: plastic and rubber supports, aluminum profile. Average price: 4600 rubles.

Body	Arc	Mountings	Strength	Equipment	The weight
Universal	Transverse aerodynamic, 120 cm	For doorways	Before 75 kg	2 arches, 4 supports	5 kg

Assembly is carried out with hex keys. Plastic elements withstand extremely high and low temperatures. Metal elements will not scratch the paintwork of the machine, because the kit comes with a layer of elastic rubber. Plastic parts in contact with luggage are embossed. This allows them to form a grip with the load and not slip. You can protect the box from unauthorized opening with locks.

2nd place: Lux - roof rack D-LUX 1 for Skoda Superb 1 sedan 2002-2008, behind the doorway, aero-travel arches

Luggage system for the model "Superb" 1st generation (2002-2008). Made of aluminum and plastic, resistant to temperature changes. Average price: 3900 rub.

The points of contact with the car are insulated with rubber. The surface of the arches is also equipped with anti-slip rubber bands. There are stubs for securing cargo. The mechanisms that hold the crossbars behind the doorway are called clamps. It is possible to install a lock.

Body	Arc	Mountings	Strength	Equipment	The weight
Liftback, hatchback	Rectangular, 120 cm	For doorways with a bracket	Up to 75 kg distributed	2 arches, 4 supports	5 kg

Mounted on the roof thanks to plastic supports and special fasteners. The arcs are made of galvanized steel. The disadvantage is the average noise level, although it is reduced by plastic plugs and rubber seals on the support mounts. The castle is missing.

The optimum ratio of price and quality

Typically, the fixture is used directly for transporting goods, but can act as a basis for mounting other fixtures or boxes. A typical example is the Skoda Rapid roof rack. The fastening system makes reliable transportation over any distance.

An important advantage of the roof rack is that it does not interfere with the view when viewed through the rearview mirror. But with trailers, this problem often occurs and it can even create an emergency on the road.

If the air box is installed according to the rules, then it is suitable for any type of cargo. It could be:

bulky luggage (for example, furniture or household appliances): one of the models suitable for this, on which a roof rack is installed, is the Skoda Octavia Tour station wagon;
sports equipment: skis, boats, snowboards, bicycles;
fishing tackle, tools and other goods.

Let's consider boxes of the middle class, which can be bought at a reasonable price.

Plastic fasteners provide the trunk with a rigid fixation. Silencers reduce noise. A special groove for accessories is closed with rubber bands so that the load does not slip during transportation. It provides for the placement of various additional fasteners, clamps, baskets, boxes. You can secure the load on the lock.

2nd place: roof rack Skoda Kodiaq SUV 2017-, for classic roof rails or roof rails with clearance, black

Expensive models

High quality airbox models (for Yeti, Kodiaq and Octavia). Roof rack "Skoda Fabia" is not included in their number. Consider reliable options that are suitable for permanent use, when it is necessary to increase the amount of cargo carried, without using the car interior for transporting luggage.

Kodiak roof rack in black and silver in aluminum and plastic. Average price: 16500 rubles.

Body	Arc	Mount	Strength	Equipment	The weight
Crossover	Aerodynamic wing-shaped, 120 cm	On the railings	Before 75 kg	2 arches, 4 supports	5 kg

The shape of the airbox reduces vibrations due to wind and air resistance. The roof rails are designed to be mounted on arcs, and luggage is already attached to the arcs; however, the load can be attached directly to the rails. Things are sometimes installed on accessories. The equipment for the "Yeti" requires assembly and mounting by clamping. There is a lock on the arches.

The roof rack "Skoda" will help to increase the amount of cargo that the car carries. The fixture is available for each model, easy and quick to install. Automotive structures of this type are relatively safe (however, safety cannot be guaranteed if there are no locks that protect luggage from unauthorized removal). The disadvantage is that the load will slow down the speed of movement, reduce stability and maneuverability due to aerodynamic interference. This is partially compensated by the special design of the arcs.

When choosing, the length and width of the crossbars, the material from which the system is made, as well as weight, fastenings, load capacity, dimensions and body type are taken into account; you should look at the feature grid. You can also find boxes for older generations of the brand (eg Octavia Tour, Fabia Junior).
