Menabo Omega roof bars and Marathon 320 Dark roof box on a Renault Laguna III hatchback

We fitted Menabo Omega roof bars and a Menabo Marathon 320 Dark roof box on a Renault Laguna III in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania.

About the car: Renault Laguna III (X91), hatchback

The Renault Laguna III, code X91, was built until March 2015. It went on sale in October 2007 as a 2008 model and was offered as a 5-door hatchback, a 5-door estate and, for the first time, a 2-door coupé. The Phase 2 version debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 2010, and fitting photo 1608 shows this front end.

The hatchback has no factory-fitted roof rails. Fitting photo 1608 shows the Menabo foot resting on the smooth roof, with the metal clamp hooked onto the door frame. That is why the bars have to be fitted with feet and a clamp that suit the bodywork, and the roof box is then fitted on the bars.

What we fitted on this Renault Laguna III

On the Laguna III hatchback we fitted Menabo Omega roof bars. You will find the full range of roof bars in the category roof bars.

• The roof box is fitted on the bars; after fitting, check that the bars and the box are firmly secured before you set off.
• The bars carry the load directly, so correct fitting is essential. For the fitting steps, see the fitting steps for roof bars.
