Menabo Tiger Silver roof bars and Mania 460 roof box on a Kia Cee'D SportsWagon, fitted in our showroom

On a Kia Cee'D SportsWagon we fitted Menabo Tiger Silver roof bars and a Menabo Mania 460 roof box, in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

About the car: Kia Cee'D SportsWagon

The Kia Cee'D SportsWagon is the 5-door estate version of the Kia Cee'd. The car in the fitting has integrated roof rails, sitting flush with the roof, and the Menabo foot attaches to the rail.

The type of roof decides the fitting system. The Kia Cee'D SportsWagon exists both with and without roof rails, and the Tiger set is designed for rail-type (integrated) roof rails, with no gap underneath. Before you order, check whether your car has rails flush with the roof, because the choice of box follows the choice of roof bars.

What we fitted on this Kia Ceed Sportswagon

The bars are Menabo Tiger Silver roof bars, made of aluminium, 1,200 mm long, with a 20 mm T-track along the full length. The set contains two bars, four feet pre-assembled for the roof rails and the Allen key. The roof bars are TÜV and ISO/PAS 11154:2006 tested. The fitting instructions for the bars are included in the box.

The box is the Menabo Mania 460 ABS White roof box, with a volume of 460 litres, made of gloss white ABS plastic, lockable and opening on one side. It has 60 mm U-bolt and 20 mm T fittings, both included, and it suits Menabo Tiger roof bars. Fitting needs no special tools.
