Suzuki Jimny 1998-2018 Skyport Roof Rails (black)

Description

Skyport roof rails (black) — a pair of longitudinal aluminum roof rails for Suzuki Jimny III generation 1998–2018 from the Turkish manufacturer Erkul: they install into the factory mounting points on the roof without drilling or welding. The kit includes 2 rails (left and right) and a mounting kit; rail length — 140 cm, distance between the outermost mounting holes — 111 cm.

Which Suzuki Jimny the Skyport roof rails fit

The model to choose by is not the year but the body: a 2007 Jimny is sometimes called the “first generation”, but for parts it is the III generation 1998–2018. If the original rails on the car broke, Skyport installs in their place: the hole layout matches the factory one, no new drilling is needed.

How to check that the roof is ready for roof rails

• Find the factory mounting points on the roof — on Jimny III they are present on the metal roof and may be covered with caps.
• Measure the distance between the outermost points on one side: for these rails it must be 111 cm.
• Not sure? — Send the manager photos of the roof from above and from the side, and he will confirm compatibility before ordering.

How the rails are installed on Jimny

The rails are bolted on from the outside into the factory locations using the bolts from the mounting kit: remove the caps, place the rail so that all supports align with the holes, check where the front and rear are and which side is left, tighten the fasteners. The supports must sit against the roof without a gap — they are not bent by force. The installation instructions can be downloaded on the product page; buyers write in the comments that they installed the rails themselves and that it is not difficult.

Load rating and what to mount on top

According to the manager’s reply under the product card, the rails are rated up to 120 kg. In practice, the smallest limit in the system applies — the roof, crossbars and their mounts — so the weight of a roof box or basket is counted together with the cargo and distributed evenly. Crossbars are not included: for a box, basket, skis or a bicycle, choose a Suzuki Jimny roof rack for rails.

Black or gray: what’s the difference

The profile is полностью aluminum, with no plastic rails. The same Erkul rails with the same dimensions and mounting are available in matte gray — Skyport roof rails (matte gray); the only difference is the color.
