Technical roof bars max speed

[rob_g_clarkson]

just bought some FIAT roof bars (the ones that attach to the longitudinal roof rails) for the panda, and they say max speed 90 km/h on them...

now, to be honest, i just wanna fit em once and have done with it, and obviously on the motorway i do a lot more than 90km/h (56mph), so my questions is;

what's gonna happen if (when) i'm doing over that speed for a prolonged time. given that my route to work is via the motorway for a good 20 miles?!?!?

thanks

(ps i suspect it's just a health and safety type thing and in reality no problems will occur in the slightest with these fitted all the time :bang

Nothing untoward will happen as long as you are sensible with the weight and size of load on the bars.
I've travelled at up to 80 mph quite safely with a bicycle mounted on Panda roof bars.

I did 70mph and a bit more with a loaded roof box on the top of ours

I know the roof bars on sisters Panda made a hell of a racket at speed. Why you planning on leaving them on? Use more fuel and only take a min or two too put on and take off.

I'm fundamentally a lazy person

I only have my cross bars on when the roof box is on. If I use the roof box when going on holiday, I take the whole lot off the car as soon as I unpack the roof box.

Which cross bars and roof boxes does everyone use? about 350-400litres?

Thinking we need some more storage for when all the baby gear is onboard.
