The aluminum roof rack for the Fiat Doblò II (model years 2010–2021) and Opel Combo D (model years 2012–2018) is a reliable transport solution for tradespeople, service providers, and delivery companies. The aerodynamically shaped crossbars make the system particularly suitable for frequent highway driving: less air resistance, noticeably lower wind noise, and a smoother ride than with many angular standard bars.

The crossbar shape reduces wind noise and air resistance, making the roof rack much more suitable for everyday use – especially if your Doblò/Combo regularly travels on the highway with a ladder or long loads. An additional comfort factor is the standard rear roller: compared to roof racks without rollers, loading is faster and gentler on the material.
Installation of Rhino aluminum roof racks
The aluminum roof rack from Rhino Products is mounted on the fixing points specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Plastic caps can be seen on the roof; the fixing points are located underneath them. These caps are removed and the mounting feet are screwed in place. The mounting feet are first attached to the roof rack. You can view or download the installation plan under "Technical Details."
Features & benefits in everyday use

- Cross bars can be moved freely (flexible for changing loads)
- Quick assembly (approx. 35–45 minutes)
- TÜV-approved & 20 g crash-tested according to ECE 17.07
- Significant increase in transport volume
Application profile: Trade vs. service vs. leisure
-
Crafts & assembly: Ladders, pipes, cable ducts – robust, quick to load thanks to rear roller
-
Service & fleet: frequent stops, changing loads – cross tubes can be positioned flexibly
-
Leisure: transport bulky equipment outside the interior (e.g., boxes/material)
Aerodynamics comparison: Rhino profile vs. angular standard carriers
Wind noise is particularly noticeable in compact high-roof panel vans such as the Doblò/Combo. Compared to simple, angular crossbars, the tubular shape of this system is designed for smoother airflow. The result: less whistling/roaring and a more pleasant driving experience – especially on longer journeys.

⚖️ Aluminum or steel – which is better suited to the Doblò/Combo fleet?
| Criterion |
Aluminum roof rack |
Steel roof racks |
| Weight |
Lighter – advantageous for frequent loading/unloading |
Heavier |
| Corrosion protection |
Very low maintenance (galvanized/corrosion-resistant) |
Coating is crucial |
| Everyday use in commercial applications |
Routine-friendly, robust for year-round operation |
Requires more maintenance in case of stone chips/paint damage |
| Comfort (noise) |
Often quieter due to profile |
More dependent on the profile |
Roof basket vs. cross bars – when is which structure appropriate?
A roof basket is the best choice if your load changes frequently or needs to be supported over a large area (e.g., ladders, pipes, panels). Crossbars are ideal if you need to mount specific structures (e.g., brackets or boxes). For everyday work with the Doblò/Combo D, the roof basket is usually the more flexible solution because it offers more support surface and securing options.
