About the car: Opel Insignia Sports Tourer

The estate version of the Opel Insignia is called the Sports Tourer, and the roof of the car decides which roof bar kit fits. Check the exact year of your car before ordering, because roof bars depend on the generation.

Check whether the car has factory roof rails or only fixing points in the door frame. The maximum roof load is given in the car's manual and includes the roof bars, the box and the luggage, so keep this value in mind.
