About the car: Peugeot 508

The Peugeot 508 is built on the PSA PF3 platform. The first generation was produced in the main market from 2011 to 2018 and received a facelift in 2015. The second generation was announced in February 2018, so when choosing bars the body style and roof matter, not just the year.

A roof without factory roof rails means the bars are fixed to the bodywork with the vehicle-specific kit. The Tema set has feet for this kind of fitting; it does not rely on roof rails. If your car has roof rails, first check that the set is made for them.

What we fitted on this Peugeot 508

The Menabo Tema Aluminium for the Peugeot 508 has 2 aluminium bars with an oval profile and rubberised paint on the metal parts. Each bar is 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide. The 4 clamps, the feet and the locks are included, as is the Allen key.

The bars have a 20 mm T-track on top for T-bolt fitting of car and bike accessories, such as bike racks and roof boxes. The maximum load is 50 kg, and the set is TÜV and ISO approved. The instruction manual is included in the package, so also check the car manufacturer's data for the maximum load.
