About the car: Fiat Freemont, single generation
The Freemont is a 5-door SUV of a single generation, built from 2011. The Dodge Journey, its sister model, is built on the same Chrysler JC platform.
The Freemont in this fitting has a roof without roof rails, so the Tema bars fix directly to the body, with fitting kits made for the car. On cars with factory roof rails, other fitting systems are used, and the type of roof decides which kit you get.
What we fitted on this Fiat Freemont
The set is Menabo Tema Steel roof bars for Fiat Freemont, 5-door, 2011+, made of steel. The bars have an oval, aerodynamic profile, and the metal parts are finished with a rubberised anti-corrosion coating. They are 1,300 mm long and 30 mm high.
Tema Steel bars have no T-track on top, so accessories are fitted with the classic U-bolt fitting, around the outside of the bar. You can fit a bike rack, roof box, ski rack or kayak & canoe rack on them, and the weight of the accessory is subtracted from the 50 kg of the set.

Technical details and what to watch for
- The set contains 2 steel bars, 4 feet, 4 locks with keys and the Allen key. The instruction manual is included in the box.
- Bar dimensions: 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide. The set weighs 5.8 kg.
- The maximum load is 50 kg, and the weight of the fitted accessory is deducted from this value.
- Without a T-track on top of the bar, racks with T-track fittings cannot be fixed. Choose a rack with a U-bolt fitting.
- The overall height of the car increases with the bars and the fitted accessory, so keep it in mind at car parks with barriers.
