Lockable Roof Rails for Tesla Model 3 Highland

Tesla Model 3 Highland Roof Bars: Finally Carry Your Gear Without Drilling Into the Glass Roof

An all-glass roof, no factory longitudinal rails, not a single visible mounting point: the Model 3 presents a real challenge for carrying cargo. These Tesla Model 3 roof bars solve the problem with a support system designed for the electric sedan, available for the 2024 Model 3 Highland as well as the 2020–2023 version. Your Tesla can finally carry a roof box, skis, or weekend gear without sacrificing trunk space.

Crossbars Designed for the Model 3 Silhouette

The Model 3 is defined by its sleek lines and uninterrupted glass surface. The challenge was to add only what is strictly necessary: two low-profile bars in dark aluminum, with a slim profile above the roofline. Viewed from a three-quarter angle, these Tesla crossbars look like a technical addition rather than an added superstructure.

The Highland version and the 2020–2023 version do not share exactly the same roof geometry, which is why two distinct references are offered rather than a single compromise intended to fit everyone.

Aluminum, ABS, and Locking: The Mechanics of These X-LINER Bars

The bars combine an aluminum alloy for strength and lightness with ABS for the support and trim pieces. The maximum load of 75 kg stated by the manufacturer, or 165 pounds, is more than enough for a loaded roof box, a pair of bicycles, or a kayak.

The system is lockable: the integrated lock turns these anti-theft roof bars into equipment that can be left securely in a hotel parking lot. The included hex key and yellow plastic tool allow for controlled tightening, an essential requirement on a glass roof.

• Two Tesla Model 3 fitments — 2024 Highland or 2020–2023 sedan, your choice
• Stated load: 75 kg — 165 pounds, roof box or sports equipment
• Key-lockable roof bars — anti-theft protection integrated into the system
• Mounting without drilling or cutting — installation and removal in a few minutes
• Aluminum and ABS — structural rigidity and non-marking supports
• For roofs without rails — designed for the Model 3 without longitudinal bars

Tightening on a Model 3 Glass Roof: The Important Precaution

The procedure is simple but does not tolerate guesswork. First, tighten the nut with the small hex key, then finish with the included yellow plastic tool, which deliberately limits the torque. Never force it beyond that: this is the absolute rule for mounting roof bars on a panoramic roof, as excessive tightening can crack the glass. Read the manual before starting and check the exact year of your vehicle before ordering.

Can These Bars Be Installed on a Model 3 Without Side Rails?

Yes, that is exactly what they were designed for. The manufacturer states that these Model 3 roof bars for cars without rails rest directly on the designated areas of the roof, without requiring any pre-existing longitudinal bars. Simply check the year, make, and model before purchasing, as the Highland and the previous generation are not interchangeable.

Equipping a Tesla: What We Check Before Listing a Kit

Electric vehicles require special attention: glass roof, lack of traditional mounting points, and sensitivity to aerodynamics. At Becquet Voiture, a Tesla roof rack kit only enters our catalog if it specifies its generation and mounting method. Our French team remains at your disposal to clear up any doubts about your vehicle's year before ordering.

Select your version, Highland or 2020–2023, and finally make your Model 3 capable of carrying a load.
