General Panda 169 maximum roof load

[rogerdean]

Hi all. Does anyone know the max roof load on a Panda 169 4x4? I have a 50kg tentbox up there. And now a cracked windscreen
Thanks in advance

Linear bars 50kg according to the owners manual

So in theory, as long as I don't travel in the tent, it should have been ok... Tks

I’ve had six wet bales on mine with no issue (dry about 15-18kg, wet 22-30kg)
I think a lot of ‘flex’ depends on how well the screen is bonded and NOT contacting bodywork

Yeah there should be some over-engineering in there, compared to the spec sheet. Perhaps relevant, my drivers door clicks when opening so think it's had a prang at some point

You never can tell! Especially if an accident didn’t go through insurance
