Tesla Model Y and Model 3 Roof Bars: Loading Without Touching the Bodywork
A Model Y has a generous trunk, but it also has a glass roof and not a single visible rail—enough to make you give up on a bike, kayak, or roof box. These Tesla Model Y roof bars utilize the manufacturer-designed mounting points and turn this smooth roof into a lockable cargo area. Three versions cover the 2025-2026 Model Y Juniper, the 2019-2024 Model Y, and the Model 3: you choose the generation, and the rest is factory-fitted.
Two Black Crossbars That Respect the Sleek Lines of a Tesla
The design is deliberately understated. Low profile, uniform black finish, rounded ends: nothing to break the fluid silhouette of a Model Y or Model 3. Seen from the side, these crossbar cargo bars look like factory equipment rather than an add-on. The mounting plates rest on the reinforced areas designed for this purpose and distribute the load without creating any hard points on the panoramic glass.
Once removed out of season, they leave no trace: no drilling, no adhesive, no tightening marks on the paintwork.
75 kg Load Capacity and Integrated Locking: What These Tesla Crossbars Can Carry
With a 75 kg (165 lb) payload, the set can carry everything you need for a weekend getaway: a soft roof box, bike rack, kayak or canoe mount, ski bars, or cargo basket. The locking mechanism is integrated into each foot: the lockable roof bars remain securely attached to the vehicle whether on a highway or in an urban parking lot. The contact surfaces feature soft pads that isolate the bodywork and limit vibrations transmitted to the interior.
- Tesla Model Y Juniper Roof Bars — specific version for the 2025-2026 model year
- Three compatibility options — Model Y Juniper, Model Y 2019-2024, and Model 3
- 75 kg load capacity — roof box, bike rack, kayak, canoe, or skis
- Integrated anti-theft locking — the crossbars cannot be removed without the key
- Mounting on original mounting points — no drilling or modifications to the glass roof
- Quick removal — the roof regains its original lines at the end of the season
Installing the Roof Bars on a Model Y Juniper or Model 3
The principle is the same for all three generations: the mounting plates are positioned on the designated mounting points, then tightened to the specified torque before being locked with the key. Installing roof bars on a Tesla is best done by two people and takes about twenty minutes the first time. Take the time to check the tightness after the first few miles, and then regularly during a long trip with a heavy load. Choose the version that corresponds to your generation: the mounting points differ between the pre-facelift Model Y and the Juniper.
Can a Model Y Really Carry a Bike Rack or Kayak on the Roof?
Yes, and this is actually one of the most common uses for these crossbars. There is only one limit to respect, and it is twofold: the 75 kg stated by the bars, and the maximum roof load indicated by Tesla in your vehicle's manual—the lower of the two always applies. Also keep range in mind: roof cargo increases drag and consumption, which is particularly noticeable on an electric vehicle at highway speeds. Remove the bars as soon as they are no longer needed.
Tesla Transport Accessories at Becquet Voiture
On a car with an entirely glass roof, the quality of the mounting plate and pad is not a cosmetic detail. We favor kits designed generation by generation rather than so-called universal models that have been adapted. This Tesla crossbar cargo bar reference follows this principle.
