Revo-Rack is a unique design of BMW 6 series convertible trunk luggage rack that eliminates the risk of paint damage, caused by steel clamps or straps on the fragile trunk lid edges. We have been manufacturing Revo-Rack since 2016.

With the Revo-Rack car boot rack no metal touches your BMW only soft rubber vacuum cups these use the pressure of the atmosphere to secure the rack to your cars boot or trunk. With the current F13 6 series and previous E64 it is not possible to operate the roof with the rack fitted as one or two of the vacuum cups have to be located on the hood cover, but it's 3 minutes to remove operate and refit. We manufacture the Revo-Rack in either black or polished anodised finish.

Revo-Rack has been independently tested by TUV Italy part of the global TUV testing and certification business. The rack went through speed, braking and force tests, to ISO 11154:2006 the international standard for car roof bars and the European Directive for general safety 2002/95/CE. Revo-Rack passed all these tests its certified to carry 45lbs.

The Rack Frame :

This BMW 6 series convertible luggage rack is manufactured from  1" 6063-T5 tubing this is an aluminium and magnesium alloy ( it will never rust )  As a result the rack frame weighs only 1.672kg / 3.6lb perfect for todays aluminium and composite trunk lids. The cross bars are machine welded in place to ensure consistency. The rack frame measures 36"x17"

 

The Supports :

The rack is secured to your BMW 6 series trunk lid using three 5" vacuum cups,  rated by the manufacturer as capable of holding an 18kg/40lb load each.

Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: When a vacuum exists between the cup and the surface on which it is attached, the weight of Earth's atmosphere holds the cup in place with incredible force. Unlike suction cups that produce a vacuum as they pull away from the surface, Revo-Racks vacuum cups use a hand-actuated pump to efficiently remove air from between the rubber pad and the attaching surface thus creating a much more reliable hold. Because the full face of the pad is brought into contact with the boot/trunk lid, distortion is reduced, allowing the cup to be used with very little risk of damage.

The Revo-Racks vacuum cup's pump feature a plunger with a red line, which serves as a vacuum indicator. This safety device is still acknowledged as one of the most reliable warning systems available. A few strokes of the plunger evacuate the vacuum pad, causing it to seal securely to the attaching surface. When the cup is attached completely, the plunger stops moving and the red line is hidden within the pump. A visible red line indicates if air has leaked back into the pad, making vacuum insufficient to use the cup. However, if the red line becomes visible while the cup is in use, a check valve allows the user to re pump the cup without losing the remaining vacuum.

Lifting on the release tab near the edge of the pad allows air to refill the evacuated space, so that the vacuum cup detaches completely. The racks sits 7.5cm / 3" off the trunk lid.
