Gutters are made in the roof, taking into account the removal of storm drains. Therefore, you can not use conventional roof racks designed for installation on the roof of the car. To avoid unnecessary risk, only use original Audi support brackets.
These support brackets form the basis of a complete roof rack. For transporting luggage, bicycles, windsurfers, skis and boats, additionally, for safety reasons, use additional carriers.
All components of this system are available from Audi workshops.
If other mounting systems are used for the roof rack, or if the roof rack is not installed according to the instructions, the resulting damage will not be covered by the warranty.
The roof rack support system must be attached exactly according to the attached instructions. At the same time, remember that each of the brackets can only be mounted between the marking strokes applied on the top decorative trim and visible only when the door or pivoting window is open.
Roof rack load capacity
The permissible weight of cargo and luggage is 75 kg.
When using attachment systems with a lower load capacity, the maximum load capacity of the luggage compartment cannot be fully utilized. The trunk should be loaded only up to the limit specified in the instructions for its installation.
Distribute the load evenly. Do not exceed the maximum roof load (taking into account the mass of the mounting system itself) and permissible gross vehicle weight - refer to the Specifications.
When transporting heavy or bulky items on the roof of a car, do not forget that the traction and dynamic qualities of the car change due to a shift in the center of gravity and an increase in aerodynamic resistance. When choosing a mode and speed of movement, consider these changes.
Make sure that the tailgate does not hit the load of the roof rack when opened.
