On a Citroen C4 (5-door, 2010-2018) we fitted a pair of Menabo Tema Steel roof bars, in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

In brief

Car: Citroen C4 second generation, 5-door hatchback, 2010-2018 model.
Fitted: a pair of Menabo Tema Steel roof bars.

Fitting: the bars sit on feet fixed to the door frames, and accessories attach with a U-bolt fitting on the outside of the bar, because the bars have no T-track.

About the car: Citroen C4, second generation (2010-2018)

The second-generation Citroen C4 (B7) was presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2010 and launched in September 2010. It is built on the PSA PF2 platform and was available only with 5 doors. Production lasted until 2018, and the model received a facelift in 2015.

In the photo of the fitting, the roof has no roof rails, and the Menabo Tema bars sit on feet fixed to the door frames. The Tema is made for cars without factory roof rails, which is why it is fitted with the feet in the box and not on roof rails.

What we fitted on this Citroen C4

Menabo Tema Steel roof bars for the Citroen C4, 5-door, 2010-2018 model are made of steel, 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide. The maximum load is 50 kg, and the set weighs 5.8 kg. The package includes 2 bars, 4 feet, 4 fitting kits, 4 anti-theft locks with keys and the hex key.

The bars have no T-track on the top, so accessories attach with the classic U-bolt fitting on the outside of the bar. You can fit a bike rack, roof box, ski rack or kayak and canoe carrier on the Tema.

Technical details and what to watch for

Capacity: the two bars take 50 kg. The weight of the bike rack, with the bikes on it, is deducted from this figure.
Bar width: 48 mm. Before you buy, check that the fitting of the rack suits this width.
Height: with accessories fitted, the height of the car increases. Check before entering low garages or car parks with barriers.
Noise: the bars can make noise when driving, especially with accessories fitted. Our guide recommends not exceeding 130 km/h with the bars fitted, and the explanations are in our guide to roof bar noise.
Anti-theft lock: the set includes 4 anti-theft locks with keys and the hex key, so you do not need any other tool for fitting.
Check: the maximum load may differ depending on the make and model of the car, so also check the specifications given by the Citroen maker.
