Crossbars for the first-generation Alfa Romeo 147 937 from 2000 to 2010. The roof of this compact car has no factory preparations, so the offered sets are intended exclusively for a bare roof with mounting under the door frame lip.
The Alfa Romeo 147 has a roof without protrusions and the crossbars rest on it using feet with shaped pads. The holding itself is ensured by steel clamps that precisely copy the curve of the door frame. In the 3-door version, the rear clamp is usually inserted under the rear quarter window seal, while in the 5-door version directly into the upper frame of the rear doors.
Before each installation of the feet, we recommend thoroughly washing and degreasing the contact areas. Trapped dust or road dirt under the rubber feet could scratch the paint during driving and the natural vibrations of the load.
This 3-door or 5-door hatchback offers great driving characteristics, but the luggage compartment is relatively modest when traveling to the mountains or the sea. The crossbars serve as a solid base for attaching bicycle racks, ski holders or a cargo box.
If you plan to use older accessories, check their method of attachment to the bar profile. Some require classic steel U-bolts around the profile, while others use the T-track in the upper edge of the aluminum bars. Do not forget about the total load: the allowed roof load includes the weight of the crossbars themselves, the box, and the transported items. Check the exact figure determined by the vehicle manufacturer in the car manual.
Generation 937 underwent a facelift of the front part during production, but the shape and proportions of the roof remained identical for all model years from 2000 to 2010. The deciding parameter when choosing a specific kit is usually the number of doors on your car.
The exact package contents and locking method can always be found in the detail of the selected product. Choose a suitable crossbar profile depending on what you plan to transport.
