Introduction

An automobile roof or car top is the portion of an automobile that sits above the passenger compartment, protecting the vehicle occupants from sun, wind, rain, and other external elements. Because the earliest automobiles were designed in an era of horse-drawn,carriege, early automobile roofs used similar materials and designs.

Introduction of Rails

You might have often seen rails attached to the sides of a car’s roof, especially crossovers and SUVs. Well these are nothing but the Roof Rails on the car. They are primarily used to mount luggage on the top of the car. Nowadays, in India, roof rails have become more of a trend than an actual usable feature. Let’s how useful roof rails are for Indian carsNow, if you are someone who takes long trips in your car regularly, a set of rails might be really useful for you. They come in use when you have an extra load of stuff that the boot just can’t handle. They are also very useful for 7 seater cars. If all the 7 seats are occupied, there is hardly any boot space that can be used. In this case, you can mount a ton of luggage using the roof rails! These also come in handy for the adventurous souls, who like to explore the unexplored roads and camp at off-beat places. You can carry all your camping equipment on the top of your car. Heck, you can even set up a tent on the roof!If you have a car with a panoramic sunroof, these won’t be of any practical use for you. This is one of the major reasons that even some expensive cars like the fortuner and the innova still don’t get a sunroof. Of course, if you want to install it for the aesthetics of it.
