You are selecting crossbars for the second generation Škoda Octavia Combi designated as 1Z, produced from 2004 to 2013. The kits in this category fit directly onto the raised roof rails that this estate has on its roof.
The second generation Octavia estate uses raised roof rails that stand above the roof profile. This means you can easily pass your hand between the rail itself and the sheet metal of the roof. The carrier foot then grips this rail firmly from the sides and underneath.
When choosing a carrier, you do not need to worry about the engine type or whether you have the pre-facelift or post-facelift version. The important factor is the profile of the roof rails themselves, for which the kits in the offer are prepared.
In the offer you will find crossbars with various bar shapes and materials. The traditional square steel profile is a solid base to which accessories are often attached using U-bolts.
Aluminum bars usually have a rounded aerodynamic profile and a groove on the top side that you can use when mounting accessories via T-bolts. Before purchasing bicycle racks or a roof box, it is worth checking what mounting method your accessories require. The exact package contents and mounting type of a specific kit can be found in the description of individual products.
The Octavia Combi 1Z offers a long roof where you can easily place a longer ski roof box or a combination of a box with a single bike carrier. The crossbars can be moved forward and backward on the raised roof rails, allowing you to set the spacing exactly according to the length of the transported load.
Just make sure that the rear part of the box does not interfere when the tailgate is fully opened. Also, do not forget that the total roof load capacity includes the weight of the load, the crossbars, and the box itself. You can find the maximum permitted limit in the vehicle manual.
Between 2004 and 2010, the production of the older first-generation model designated as Tour ran in parallel. If you have a car from this transitional period and are hesitant, check out the selection for Octavia Combi 1U. For newer vehicles produced from 2013 onwards, the Octavia Combi 5E category is intended. An overview of all versions can be found in the Octavia Combi section.
