Crossbars for the ninth generation Toyota Corolla Hatchback E12 produced from 2001 to 2007. This model uses a bare roof, so the selection depends on the precise attachment behind the body edge.
The Hatchback generation of Corolla features a bare roof without raised elements or pre-prepared mounting points. The carrier feet rest directly on the roof edge and are fixed using metal clamps behind the upper door frame edge.
When fastening, it is important that the paint under the feet is thoroughly cleaned. Settled dust and sand could damage the body surface under pressure, so we recommend washing these areas before each installation of the carrier. The exact anchoring procedure and distances between the bars are specified by the carrier manufacturer in the included manual.
The compact luggage compartment of the hatchback is often not enough for holiday equipment, sports gear or a baby stroller. Crossbars serve as a solid base on which you can mount a roof box, bicycle carriers or ski holders.
Crossbars differ in the design of the bar profile, which can be steel or aluminum. Aluminum bars often feature a T-track for inserting adapters, while accessories are usually mounted onto steel profiles using clamps. Before purchasing, check the compatibility of your existing accessories and verify what exactly the given package contains in the product detail.
When driving with a loaded roof, remember the changed clearance height of the vehicle. Pay increased attention to entrances to underground garages, parking structures and driving under low branches. The total roof load capacity stated by the car manufacturer in the user manual includes the weight of the crossbars and the box itself, in addition to the transported items.
Choose a suitable set from the offer according to your requirements. If you are looking for carriers for other body types or models, go to Corolla Hatchback or to the main brand category Toyota.
