Roof Rail

Dikit o barena? Anong mas maganda?

Mas secure siempre yung naka-bolt.

I agree with Horsepower. For sturdiness, firmness and security, drilling is preferable though you have to sacrifice the car's roof from holes.

if you want to put roof rails and plan to drill holes, buy the best roof rail. ang mga taiwan with plastic end caps always break easily. find those na sturdy ang plastic ends and look if the screw has a plastic coating that when installed will act as a seal in the holes.

dikit lang kung plainly roof rail. kung kakapitan ng rack, bolt on ang
mas matatag.

Pamporma lang hindi ko lalagyan ng carrier. Ayokong pabutasan ang bubong ng oto. Yung nakita kong screw nung roof rail plain metal lang hindi plastic/rubber coated naisip ko yun pagmumulan ng kalawang pag hindi maganda pagkalagay/pagkabutas.

Yung dikit ba hindi basta-basta natatanggal? Ang ilalagay kasing pandikit yung double adhesive tape lang baka lumipad makadisgrasya pa ako. Bili na lang ako ng roof rail ako ng gagawa wala akong tiwala sa ilalagay nilang pandikit. Baka may recommended kayong pandikit para sa roof rail ng hindi ako makadisgrasya ng tao.

Maraming salamat sa inyo.

I don't really trust the adhesives. You'll be working against the elements here, Sun heat, rain, wind - all those would tear the adhesives apart which, most likely is only clinging to the paint which is removable in itself. Mataas ang probability na maka-disgrasya ka pa.

Not worth the porma IMO. And to be candid, why on earth would you want to put a roof rail if you're not gonna use it? Additional drag lang yan.

same ng pinakabit ko 5 yrs ago, adhesive lang pero hindi double adhesive
tape na ordinary. similar to epoxy steel ang ginamit kaya parang metal
din ang kapit. nga pala ilang paa ng roof rail na nagustuhan mo? sa kin kasi
2 lang at manipis lang so magaan lang at walang drag. they suggest kung
yung 3 paa ang kukunin mo dapat butas na pero they put silicone sa bawat
drilled holes bago i-screw.

i agree with horsepower.they add drag no matter how skinny they are and if its not done right..youll get a whistling sound too when driving fast.my SUV actually had a roof rack and i took it off so no one can suggest/ask me to put their stuff up there if/when they need a ride carrying something heavy/long.
