DIY roof rack for Priora hatchback

Roof rack for Lada Priora sedan and hatchback, installation of roof rails

The cargo capabilities of the VAZ 2171 station wagons are enormous.
And here there is a significant advantage not only in the volume of the trunk, but also in the presence of rails (cradles, arches) on the roof. The Priora sedan (VAZ 2170) and hatchback (VAZ 2172) are not equipped with roof rails from the factory, but you can install them yourself. There are two ways to place a roof rack on a Priora:

install roof rails (along the roof), as on a station wagon;
install arches across the roof.

1. If models for the VAZ 2170, 2172 are not on sale, consider the roof rails from the VAZ 2110, 2112 (the roof and doors of the 10 are the same as the Priora). Accordingly, the installation is performed in the same way. First, the ceiling lining is removed, after which we check the presence of roof reinforcements. If the holes for attaching the rails do not fit into them, you will have to modify them. To strengthen the roof, we glue a sheet of metal (2 mm thick and 80x100 mm in size) with Moment epoxy glue. Don't forget to use rubber gaskets to avoid damaging the paintwork.

For fans of Priora tuning, there are Priora decorative roof rails, which are not suitable for carrying cargo. These accessories are simply glued to the roof using 2-sided tape.

2. Arches on the roof. Unlike roof rails, they are the most common and are much easier to find on sale. The disadvantage of this design over the first is that they are noisier at speed.

The installation of such arches is universal and is shown in the video. Remember to use spacers between the body and the mounts.

Do you use roof rails and bars on your Priora? Which type of design suits you best? Let us remind you that another way to strengthen the roof is to make it soundproof.

How to Install a Roof Rack on a Lada Priora

Roof rack from Lada Priora

When going to the sea, relaxing, going to the country or just in the lap of nature, it is very convenient to load some necessary things into the top trunk of a car. All previous VAZ models were initially prepared for the fact that a lightweight, elegant metal trunk can be quickly installed

on the roof. And how is this issue resolved in today’s popular Priority?

Types of luggage for Priora

With a modern car, you will no longer spoil the design that was suitable for cars of previous VAZ models. But, as they say, the purpose of the invention. cunning. And Russian masters have still solved this issue. There are two types of attachment for additional cargo modules to the Priora roof.

Longitudinal fastening.
Trunk trunk.

Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is necessary to consider each separately.

Luggage compartment on longitudinal arches

With this method of installing an additional cargo module, one important factor should be taken into account: the longitudinal arches can be placed on the roof and are truly functional devices designed to transport the necessary cargo; and simply redo decorations that are incorrectly attached to the roof of the car. That is, they can also be divided into:

decorative;
functional.

Decorative restyled arches. Sometimes many motorists place this element simply as decoration on the top of the car. In this case, reliable fastening to the Priora body does not play a decisive role. Most often, these elements are installed simply with a good sealant and even with double-sided tape. You may say that this is only an external configuration and should not be discussed in detail here.

Functional arcs of the body, longitudinal. But if you need to transport something along these arches, install a full barrel for them, the fastening should be fundamentally different. It would be good if technological openings with roof rigidity were initially provided. Then no problem. Just buy the required arcs and mount. But if not, then everything is more complicated.

If the Priora does not have special holes for attaching the trunk first, they will have to do it themselves. To do this, remove the inner lining of the ceiling. This is the first one. Precisely mark the outside marks so that the holes on at least one side are rigid. Or install a specially cut metal strip with a thickness of at least 2 mm. Be sure to install the rubber gaskets that come with it under the barrel arcs.

In general, of course, this work is best done at a service. This way it will be more reliable.

The general advantage of longitudinal restyled arches is good aerodynamics. The downside is the strength. It is below the transverse one. And, accordingly, the carrying capacity is lower.

Roof installation "priority"

This type of fastening is most common among owners of economical cars, for which their Priora is used. a real workhorse. Cross couplings attach to the edges of the chassis on any machine. Their installation and dismantling takes only a few minutes. Considering that the roof width is the same for all Priors, the body type does not matter. You can place two or three crossbars. With the help of bolts they are securely attached to the roof of the Priora.

The main disadvantage of this cargo module is the increased noise level. At high speeds this creates unpleasant vibrations. Otherwise, this is the most profitable and convenient option for transporting additional cargo. No wonder it is the most popular.

The video shows the installation of a transverse roof rack from a Lada Kalina. This is similar to the bootloader installation process on Prior.

Types of trunks on Priora

You can no longer attach a design to a modern car that was suitable for VAZ cars of previous models. But as they say, the need for invention is cunning. And Russian masters finally resolved this issue. There are two types of mounting additional cargo modules on the Priora roof.

Longitudinal fastening.
Cross trunk.

Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, each needs to be considered separately.

Luggage rack on longitudinal arches

When considering this method of installing an additional cargo module, one important factor must be taken into account: longitudinal arches on the roof can also be installed as truly functional devices designed to transport the necessary cargo; and simply restyled decorations that are not properly attached to the roof of the car. That is, they can also be divided into:

decorative;
functional.

Decorative restyled arches. Sometimes, many car enthusiasts install this element simply as a decoration for the top of the car. In this case, reliable fastening to the Priora body does not play a decisive role. Often these elements are simply installed with a good sealant, or even with a special type of double-sided adhesive tape. This, one might say, is just external tuning, and it is not worth considering it in detail here.

Functional trunk arches, longitudinal. But if you need to transport something on these arches, install a full-fledged roof rack on them, the fastening must be fundamentally different. It’s good if there are initially provided technological holes with stiffening ribs on the roof. Then no problem. Just buy suitable arcs and install. But if not, then everything is more complicated.

If the Priora initially does not have special holes for attaching the trunk, you will have to make them yourself. To do this, you need to remove the inner ceiling trim. This comes first. Make precise markings on the outside so that the holes on at least one side touch the stiffening ribs. Or install a specially cut strip of metal from the inside, at least 2 mm thick. Be sure to place the included rubber pads under the trunk arches.

In general, of course, it is better to do this work at the service. Yes, it will be more reliable.

The general advantage of longitudinal restyled arches is good aerodynamics. The disadvantage is durability. It is lower than that of the transverse ones. And accordingly the carrying capacity is lower.

Transverse mounting of the roof rack "Priora"

This type of fastening is most common among business car owners, for whom their Priora is a real workhorse. Cross racks are attached to the edges of the body on any car. Their installation, as well as dismantling, takes literally a few minutes. Considering that the roof width of all Priors is the same, the body type does not matter. You can install either two or three transverse arcs. With the help of bolts they are securely attached to the roof of the Priora.

Fixation options

Longitudinal fixation; Transverse. Each option has its own pros and cons.

If you want to buy a Lada Priora car and are going to increase the load capacity with the top trunk, make sure there are special holes for fastenings.

Longitudinal locking rack

The trunk of this modification comes in two categories.

Functional

Fastens securely. Designed for transportation of heavy, oversized cargo. If the arches are planned to be used for transporting heavy, large objects, a reliable, durable fastening is required. To do this, you need holes with stiffening partitions on the roof of a hatchback or station wagon.

When purchasing roof rack partitions, tell the seller your car body type.

When there are no holes on the roof of the car - they were not provided by the factory - installation of the trunk becomes more complicated. You'll have to do them yourself. To do this, you will have to remove the roof lining of the interior of the car - these are provided by the factory on the Prior. Next you need to measure and outline where they need to be done. Make sure that they coincide with the stiffeners. You can attach a metal layer on the inside, the thickness of which does not exceed 2.5 mm. Place rubber pads under the trunk arches.
