How to mount your Porsche rooftop accessories | Tutorial | Spot On | Into The Wild – Episode 1
This time, Sabine decided to take me camping. With our two kitted out Porsches we were ready for our next adventure ‘Into the Wild’. Bijon: Sabine? Sabine: Yes? B: Where in the world are we actually? S: Well, think of it as the ‘Bavarian’ outback.
B: I’m happy you know where we are and what exactly we’re doing here. B: You’re sure the roads are good enough? S: Bijon, don’t worry – the cars are! It was clear that on this kind of terrain our equipment had to be mounted properly.
The whole process was pretty straight forward: All I had to do was fit the right railings, they carry the roof basket and its load. Once the basket was centered on the railings, I secured them with U-brackets, bolts and security covers. It was also possible to flexibly position the accessory brackets
Using the provided fastening plates and screws. Not to forget, the handy torque tool. To round things off each accessory could be locked or straped into place for extra security. Considering how solidly my gear was mounted
I couldn’t help but wonder just what kind of trip Sabine actually had in mind. B: We’re camping, right? S: Well, of course, that’s why I brought a tent. B: A tent.. In Africa I’d sleep under the stars. But I did bring some recovery boards, a shovel
A full canister of water and an empty canister of fuel. Because it is an electric Taycan. S: Okay. B: Not to forget – my axe. You know Sabine, out here in the wild it’s a proper equipment to survive. S: An axe… S: Well, Bijon, that’s why I brought a Cayenne.
B: The cool thing about this Porsche roof basket is not just the practicality. It’s the fact that you can strap like a million things to it. But the way that it transforms the looks of your Porsche. Making it look like it’s ready for a ‘Paris to Dakar’.
Was Sabine nearly ready to saddle up her roof tent? S: So, before mounting your roof tent you need to slide the fastening brackets into the grooves at the base of the tent. Make sure that the tightening screws face towards the outside to be accessible for fastening. B: And talking about fastening..
S: You’re sure that’s tight? B: Oh yes! B: I’m a safety first kinda guy. S: Not that your rackless driving leaves you rack – less. B: Safety first, Sabine. For the driver, the passengers and the lions. S: Lions? B: Yes, lions. B: Big lions, small lions, all kinds of lions.
Porsche makes the most amazing ‘lion’ boxes. S: You mean dogs. B: The cool thing is that Porsche makes these boxes for your dogs up to 8 kg and you can fix them to the ISOFIX whether it’s in the front seat or on the rear seat of your Porsche. B: And
Just like my gear up here they’re all available at the dealer or at the Porsche online shop. S: You know, I have a ‘lion’ allergy, right? B: Lions? B: I don’t see any lions. S: Because there aren’t any. B: To install your small dog box place it on the leveling cushion,
Connect it to the ISOFIX system, tighten the straps and off you go. B: And, what did you bring? S: A 353 horse power glamper! B: A what? S: Well, the Porsche roof tent on my Cayenne. B: Ahh, because you wanna camp in full glamour. B: And with a crew, I see.
B: Sabine didn’t need much help mounting her roof tent. A fact she demonstrated moments later. S: To control the lifting of your roof tent you might need a few hands. The rest is easy and I can do it all by myself.
S: So, once the Porsche roof tent has been centered onto the roof railings you use the specialized tool to tighten the screws. The roof tent can thereafter be secured against theft with the anti-theft locks. B: Make sure you tighten these brackets properly, uh?
B: Uh, time to go Sabine. I’m gonna explore some nature. B: Hey Sabine, just remember you’ve got a bed room on your roof! S: Haha, whether it’s the roof tent or the roof basket mounted. It’s good for 130km/h. B: Woohoo!
