You can get the most out of your roof rack when you use the best possible materials for it. Whether it is a big vehicle like a Toyota Hilux or Ford Territory or something smaller like a Toyota Camry, you have to look at some of the roof rack accessories that can fit perfectly with your vehicle.

 

Add Load Stops

You can start with some load stops on your roof rack. A load stop is a knob that secures onto a bar and lets you tighten straps you may add onto your car roof racks. This keeps surfaces tight and less likely to slip off. These work best if they are organized around all corners of the vehicle racks and are tightened evenly.

 

Add a Basket

A roof basket is another choice to have. This can be mounted onto a vehicle’s racks with a series of anchors on its corners. For instance, you could use small straps to link the corners of the basket to your Hilux roof racks to create an even fit. After this, you can use added straps or fasteners to secure any items inside the basket. This is ideal for cases where the large items you are moving cannot be easily secured on the racks alone.

 

Try a Bike Rack

A series of bike roof rack supports may also work. Typical Hilux or Ford Territory roof racks can support bars with their own anchors that secure themselves onto the racks. Each anchor can be placed next to one another here. They can connect to the frame of an upstanding bicycle. This allows the bike to stay upright while in transit without the risk of it falling off provided you don’t run into any low-clearance spots. Your roof bike carrier may come with some fasteners for the wheels too.

 

Rain Gutters May Be Added

The last of the roof rack accessories to consider are a series of rain gutters. These may be added to your roof to help draw water from the top of your vehicle off of it without the water getting in the way of your windshield or other visible surfaces. You’d have to add these evenly around the roof to make them work. You can add these to a Toyota Camry roof rack or on any other small car rack to keep rain from being a threat.
