What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing's roof-compatibility claims are inconsistent: its title names pitched bitumen and metal roofs, while a feature says it fits most tile roofs. The package details are also inconsistent: the component field lists “2 Paar Halterungen”, while the feature box list names rails, clamps, hooks, screws, rail caps and connectors. Confirm the intended roof type and the selected listing's included components before installation. The manufacturer also says to use screws and anchors on horizontal rafters only, not vertical rafters.

The supplied evidence contains aggregate ratings but no customer comments, so it does not establish what buyers liked or disliked. The distribution is mostly five-star, with some one- and two-star ratings, but the small sample does not explain the reasons or establish performance. For a roof mount, confirm roof compatibility and package contents independently of those ratings.
