Menabo Tema Steel roof bars on a Fiat Bravo 5-door (2007-2014), Type 198

On a Fiat Bravo 5-door we fitted Menabo Tema Steel roof bars, in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania. The car has a smooth roof, so the feet of the bars clamp onto the door frames.

About the car: Fiat Bravo (Type 198)

The Fiat Bravo, with the internal code Type 198, is a compact car produced by Fiat from 2007 to 2014. It was launched on 21 April 2007, and European production, at the Cassino plant, stopped in July 2014. The car is built on the Fiat C2 platform and has a 5-door hatchback body.

The version in this fitting has a smooth roof, without roof rails, and in the fitting photo the bars are clamped onto the door frames. The roof type matters, because it decides whether the bars attach to the roof or to the body. The Tema bars suit cars without roof rails, so on a Bravo with a smooth roof they attach to the body.

What we fitted on this Fiat Bravo

The Menabo Tema Steel roof bars for Fiat Bravo, 5-door, 2007-2014 has 2 steel bars of 1,300 mm, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide. The bars are black, with rubberised anti-corrosion paint, and have a protective plastic layer. The set includes 4 feet, 4 lock cylinders with keys and the Allen key from the box.

The bars have no T-track on top, so accessories attach with the classic U-bolt fitting, around the outside of the bar. You can fit bike racks, roof boxes or ski racks on them.
