Roof rack choice on the Skoda Kodiaq comes down to two things: what the roof looks like above the door frame, and what load rating the crossbars need. This page collects the UK-market fit facts worth having before you order.

What to look for on the listing
- That the fitting kit lists the Skoda Kodiaq with the correct roof type (roof rails, flush or open depending on the car) and year range.
- Whether the crossbars are aero-shaped (quieter at motorway speed) or square-section (cheaper, noisier).
- The dynamic load rating in kg, and whether it matches or beats what you plan to carry.
- The static load rating if a roof tent is on the shopping list, this is a separate figure from the driving cap.
Frequently asked questions
What roof type does the Skoda Kodiaq have?
On UK cars the Skoda Kodiaq has roof rails, flush or open depending on the car. UK bar makers sell versions for both flush and open rails on the 2024-on Kodiaq: check which you have. The published roof load is 75 kg, and the bars’ own weight counts towards it.
What is the difference between dynamic and static load?
Dynamic is the maximum load the rack can carry with the car being driven, the smaller of the two figures. Static is the parked figure, and roof tents must respect it. Both are still capped by the vehicle’s own roof-load rating.
