Important
Always be sure to follow the
manufacturers' instructions for the fitting and use of any equipment we supply,
and the vehicle manufacturers' instructions, particularly in regard to maximum
permitted roof and/or tow ball loadings. Where these instructions differ,
observe the lower of the specified maximums.
Atera STRADA 3
The most innovative tow bar carrier
we've ever seen, for 3 to 4 bikes. It slides away from the tailgate,
supporting the weight of the bikes, and is also small enough to be placed in
the boot when not in use - just what you need when parking on the street or
in town car parks. A 2 to 3 bike version is also available. Comes with UK legal
foglights!
Boot Liners and Mats
We have thousands of low sided and high sided car-specific
liners, all with a "rim around the edge" so that whatever's spilt
on the liner stays on the liner. There are even full length MPV liners with
cut outs for the seats. Keep the car clean and maximise its resale value!

Pet
carriers
For dogs or cats:
We sell a range of folding steel cages and fabric crates, but don't visit this
section without checking out the Dog Bag range which we think is the best travel
system for both dogs and their owners. Dogs appreciate the warmth and comfort
provided by the textile sides, with more privacy and better sun protection.
Owners like the way that their pets settle down quickly, as well as the relatively
small 'footprint' of the Dog Bag, leaving boot space for the luggage.
Other pet carriers include Pet Tube, and Jet Set (ideal as a cat carrier).
Click on this logo, wherever you see it,
to find out which products have been specifically approved for use on your
vehicle. The list includes roof bars, rear fitting cycle carriers, boot liners,
dog guards, Safe Bag, tailored seat covers, and car styling accessories.

Dog
Bag - a revolutionary stress-free home for your dog! Ideal in the boot of your
car or as an indoor or outdoor kennel. "New Product
Award Winner" - GLEE 2003
KAMEI
car styling
Make your car stand out from all its cousins
in the car park. Massive spoilers, wide skirts
and lurid colours aren't our style, but how about a replacement radiator grille,
or door latch trims, or wing mirror caps?
Making a few smart and subtle changes will make just the difference you wanted.
Dare to be different!
We
are obsessed with providing you with the best information about the products
and services available on this site. Listed below are some options you may find
useful.
Seat
Covers
Protect
your car seats from the worst that your family and pets will throw at them.
Most of Walser's car seat covers are
TÜV approved for cars with side airbags, using a special seam, not just
by leaving a gap in the seat cover. They're available in real Nappa leather,
jacquard, velour, cotton, sheepskin (warm in winter, cool in summer), and
waterproof nylon. There are also tailored sets for a range of popular cars
and MPVs.
This
is The Roof Box Company's website, the UK's leading mail order supplier
of car roof boxes, roof bars, roof racks, bike carriers,
boot liners, bike boxes, seat covers, snow chains, dog bags and other
car accessories for sale or rental.
WalkyGuard
WalkyGuard is an innovative fast-fitting universal dog guard that fits to the rear headrest posts and is easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Head rest mounting allows a boot cover to be left in place. It's a one piece welded steel construction which, importantly, doesn't rattle.
Although the BICE WalkyGuard
has not been formally tested as a safety guard, the fact that a strong all-welded
steel guard is securely fastened behind the rear headrest posts should be
a considerable comfort. The dangers posed by objects thrown forward from the
boot of a vehicle tend to be underestimated.

Safe Bag
Safe Bag is designed to keep bulky objects in place,
keeping the vehicle clean and the passengers safe. Load the garden rubbish into
the back of your estate car, take it wherever you take it, then whip out the
Safe Bag and find the car as clean as a whistle. The Rear Bag version fills
the boot space behind the rear seats, the full Safe Bag is designed for use
with the rear seats laid flat.

VAN-RACKS
VAN-RACKS
is the part of our business which specialises in commercial and heavy duty
roof bar systems, roof racks and other accessories - light commercial vehicles
have specialist roof bar and roof rack requirements. We supply the full range
of gear from Saunders, Rhino Products, CRUZ and Thule. Visit www.van-racks.co.uk
for further information.
We have an urgent need for some market research into an important car safety issue. For every sensibly completed questionnaire we will in due course send you a £10 discount voucher to be used against purchases from this site, one voucher per respondent. Please click here. Thank you!
£10 for your help!
Please note that orders despatched "Next Day" on Friday will be delivered on Tuesday
www.roofbox.co.uk
We're UK distributors for many of the world's most innovative car accessory manufacturers, sourcing specialist products that come under the broad headings of "load carrying stuff", "interior car protection", and "tyre traction"; we also trade at the subtler end of the car styling market.
Each product group has its own Home Page, with details of Special Offers. Check out the Bargains pages if you're looking for cheap overstocks, end of range items, damaged or returned items - they're always sold very cheap.
Protective
Cases
We stock protective waterproof cases from Peli and B&W -
these are watertight, airtight, dust and corrosion
proof and able to withstand extreme conditions. They're available in a range
of shapes, sizes and colours, and most of them have a choice of interior fittings.
Photographers should check out the B&W photo-cases which provide both waterproofing
and impact protection.
Laptop
Backpacks and Bags
Spire claim to make the best laptop bags
and backpacks on the planet -
a
claim we had to check out for ourselves. They're certainly superb sacks in their
own right - most of our team use theirs as daysacks for mountain-biking, walking,
skiing, airline travel, etc. - so when you add the really clever notebook features
and general 'savvy' then we have to agree that the claim is probably true! There
are new models and colours for 2007/08, and bulk purchase discounts are available.
BICE Walky range
BICE specialises in pet products for people on the move. The WalkyDog
is the best seller - a bike mounted dog lead which after some practice should
see you pedalling to the park rather than driving there! Check out the WalkyBag and WalkyLock and the new WalkyGuard headrest mounted universal
dog guard. Take it from car to car, and use the boot protector cover with
the dog guard still in place.
B&W bike.cases
B&W International (part of the BWH Koffer
group) is probably Germany's premier manufacturer of specialist cases. Their
market-leading bike protection products, bike.case and bike.box, have won
many awards in recent years. They provide serious protection for airline travel
- much more than is possible with even a well padded bike bag.
KAMEI's Corvara 390K roof box
"This is close to being the perfect roofbox.
It’s well made from thick plastic and all lock clips and clamps are metal
– which improves durability and security. KAMEI includes a six-year guarantee,
and maximum load weight is an impressive 75kg. Both sides open, and the central
locking system is great – turning the lock frees all three catches, but
they can latch independently, too."

news pages
Magnetic ski carriers
Fapa magnetic ski
carriers are a cheap
option compared to roof bars and a ski carrier, and are ideal for e.g. trips
to the dry ski slope - which is why we sell more in summer than in winter!
They take seconds to fit and remove, and even lock to the roof!
SPECIAL OFFER
Special offer on B&W photo-cases! A padded divider set inside a hard case inside a ballistic nylon bag with numerous pockets and a foldaway rucksack harness.
The B&W
Type 90 is ideal for digital SLRs and provides impact protection
as well as 100% waterproofing. A snip at
£59.95, while stocks last, although we'll have more in the Autumn.
Saunders
Dog Guards
Save fuel! Turn down the aircon and let your seat covers keep you cool!
Almost all the
Walser seat
covers we sell have the patented Walser "Clix III" side-airbag
system. Their Aerotex range is not only side-airbag approved but will also draw
the heat and moisture away from your back, using technical fabrics, and disperse
it. Aerotex is available in full seat cover sets and also in individual seat
cushions.
KAMEI's
Corvara DuoLift boxes are without doubt the most technically advanced and
best made roof boxes on the market; they're available in 3 sizes and three
colours.
Auto Express tested the Corvara
390K DuoLift silver and gave it their
2008
Best Buy award, with the KAMEI Delphin 380 in 2nd place.
A
major contribution to family safety:
Your car may have crumple zones, side impact protection, and airbags all round.
But what's to protect you from being seriously injured (or worse) from a frozen
chicken in the boot, flying forward at 40mph? If you haven't got a TÜV
approved safety guard behind the rear seats, the answer is "Nothing".
Check out "
What fits my
car?" to see if there's a
MasterLine
guard for your car. It will be cheap at the price.
The BICE
WalkyRoadRefresher is a remarkable Pet Travel Bowl. The non-spill water bowl can be filled with water and then safely left within a car so your pet can drink whenever they want. Great for use in a car, caravan as well as in the home.
Available now for just £9.95.
SPORT WAGON
Made by Dog Bag, it's a versatile pet carrier that can be used alone in the back of the car, as a stroller or attached to the back of your bike.
AutoSock
for Trucks
AutoSock for Trucks are now available for all popular tyre sizes, at Summer
Sale prices. Keep your business moving by keeping a set in each cab,
or at the very least keep a few pairs at your distribution depot.

here for information.
Bulb Kits
Bulb kits from Philips and Ring. We have complete replacement bulb sets as well as safety, performance and styling headlight upgrades.Make sure that you can replace a worn out car light bulb immediately during the course of a journey to ensure that you arrive safely at your destination without having to stop at a garage.
Bike Carriers: ATERA GIRO AF
The previous GIRO was a worthy winner of the Auto Express Best Buy Award on
several occasions. The
Atera
GIRO AF is its 21st Century replacement. It features automatic
shoulder high single handed tensioning and locking, leaving one hand to hold
the bike in place.
Superb!
Check out the GIRO AF in our
bike
carrier package deals.
Snow
Chains
We're UK distributors for the smartest snow chain manufacturers on the market,
including Maggi TRAK chains for low clearance, low profile tyres, and the
Swiss Spikes-Spider system which, uniquely, can be resized to fit just about
every tyre size, providing long term value.
RUD's
easy2go range (left) is easy fitting, and with continuous re-tensioning thanks
to the Permanent Tensioning Device, this really is the smartest and most complete
cable chain available.
AutoSock
Check

on ice and snow then check out this link. AutoSock will get you down to the
main roads, get you to important meetings, get you home. They're small, lightweight,
a doddle to fit. Leave a set in the car all year so you have them when you need
them.

Our stock items include the 20mm and 25mm polypropelene straps - Allpack
and Transport. Speciality straps include the
