Crossbars for the B8 generation Audi A4 Avant, manufactured from 2008 to 2015. All kits on offer are designed for flush rails, which form an integral part of the roof of this estate.
On the B8 generation Audi A4 Avant estate, the flush rails lie directly against the bodywork, and you cannot slide your fingers under them along their entire length. The roof rack feet therefore wrap around the profile of the rail and firmly grip its shaped edges.
Before purchasing, check the vehicle's manufacturing date in your vehicle registration document. Generation changes took place in 2008 and 2015, and mounting on older or newer cars uses different installation kits.
Kits for this vehicle differ in the shape and design of the crossbars. Aluminium profiles usually feature a T-slot on the top side, into which you can slide bicycle holders, ski racks, or a roof box using T-adapters. The accessories thus make use of the entire width of the roof.
With square-profile steel bars, racks and boxes are typically secured using standard U-bolts. If you already own bicycle racks or a box, choose crossbars with regard to their anchoring system. Always check the exact package contents of a specific set in the product detail before ordering.
When installing the feet, follow the instructions included with the given kit. The flush rails on the B8 have positioning points on the inner side that precisely determine the spacing of the front and rear crossbar.
If your estate is equipped with an optional panoramic roof, consult the vehicle manual before driving. Some mountings may interfere with the glass tilt area under full load, and the vehicle manufacturer may require the window to remain closed during cargo transport.
The mid-size estate can handle carrying ski equipment as well as family luggage for a long trip. Remember that the total permitted roof load includes the weight of the cargo along with the weight of the crossbars and the roof box itself. The roof weight limit is specified in the vehicle manual.
Choose a kit for flush rails according to your requirements. You can find the previous version in the Audi A4 Avant B7 section, the newer version in the Audi A4 Avant B9 category, and all estate generations are summarized in Audi A4 Avant.
