Peugeot 508 with Menabo Tema Aluminium roof bars, fitted directly onto the roof

On a Peugeot 508 we fitted Menabo Tema Aluminium roof bars at the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

About the car: Peugeot 508

The Peugeot 508 is built on the PSA PF3 platform. The model was built in the main market from 2011 to 2018, with a facelift in 2015, and Peugeot announced the second generation in February 2018. For fitting, the roof type and body style matter more than the year, so check which roof rails your car has before ordering.

The Tema bars are designed for cars without factory roof rails on the roof. They are fitted directly onto the roof, with the dedicated feet, and roof rails are not used in this fitting. If your car already has roof rails, the kit that fits directly onto the roof is no longer the right one.

What we fitted on this Peugeot 508

The Menabo Tema Aluminium for the Peugeot 508 has 2 aluminium bars with an oval, aerodynamic profile, 1,300 mm long, 30 mm high and 48 mm wide. The top has a 20 mm T-track for T-bolt fitting of bike racks, roof boxes or ski racks. If the accessory has no T fitting, a U-bolt fitting around the outside of the bar can be used.

In the package you get 4 clamps with feet, 4 locks with keys and the Allen key, so you do not need any other tools. All metal parts are treated with rubberised paint and an anti-corrosion coating, and the bars are TÜV and ISO approved. The instruction manual is included in the box.
