Fiat 124 Spider Trunk Luggage Rack
Revo-Rack Black $409.95
Revo-Rack PA $489.95
Revo-Rack is a unique design of Fiat 124 Spider 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 the Revo-Rack since 2016 with the choice of two finishes black or PA (polished anodised) which creates a chrome like shine. We only sell direct over the web.
We designed Revo-Rack in 2015. The issue with fitting a conventional metal clamp based luggage rack to a Fiat 124 Spider trunk is the 0.16"/2.7mm panel gap - there is no room for a metal clamp.
Revo-Rack attaches to your Fiat 124 using vacuum cup technology, these are not suction cups. Suction is what creates vacuum. Vacuum is the total absence of air whereas suction is the process done to achieve a vacuum. The grey buttons on the side of the cups pump out the air creating a huge, securing force.
In 2015 Revo-rack was independently certified by TUV Italy part of the global TUV testing and certification business. It went through speed, braking and force tests, to ISO 11154:2006 Revo-Rack passed all these tests and is certified to carry 20kg/45lbs. Since 2016 we have sold over 10,000 Revo-Racks and never had a failure.

The Rack Frame :
This Fiat 124 Spider 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 3.6lb perfect for todays aluminium and composite boot/trunk lids. The cross bars are machine welded in place to ensure consistency. The rack frame measures 36"x17"
The Supports :
Revo-Rack is secured to your 124 Spider using three 5"/120mm vacuum cups. These are rated by the manufacturer as capable of holding an 18kg/40lb load each. These are not suction cups.
Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: These are not suction cups. Suction is what creates vacuum. Vacuum is the total absence of air whereas suction is the process done to achieve a vacuum. The grey buttons on the side of the cups pump the air out from the cup creating a huge securing force.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 secure hold.
The Revo-Racks vacuum cup's pump feature a pump button with a red line, which serves as a vacuum indicator. Introduced in the1960's, this safety device is still recognized as one of the most reliable warning systems available. A few strokes of the pump evacuate the vacuum pad, causing it to seal securely to the car. 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 you 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. Revo-Rack sits 7.5cm / 3" off the trunk lid

Hi Antony,
Sorry for coming back to you so late….
But better late than never…as promised, please find attached a picture of the revo-rack in use….
It was hard for me to believe, but it really worked more than well – even on the Autobahn….
We drove from Frankfurt to Bologna via Milan and back via Munich – no problems at all. We followed your instructions – had a look at it all once in a while … only one time we had to press two of the “buttons” to refix the rack after around 4h drive…. All good.
Astonishing!!!!!
Thank you and stay healthy in these wired times!
Regards,
Petra

Hi Liza! Attached you’ll find some photos. The rack fits perfect. A very hard test for the rack (and my new case) was my trip by car two weeks ago to the Netherlands, on the way back to Munich completely with heavy rain without a break. I had no problems, the rack doesn’t move at all. Great! (And the case was completely waterproof, great too!).
If you want to put one of these photos on your website, it is ok. Please inform me about this / send me the link and please blacken the license plate. Thank you!
Have a nice Friday and weekend – lovely greetings from sunny Munich!

Hi, thought I would drop you a line to say how pleased I am with my revo-rack boot rack.
We travelled 3250 miles with 25kg (we weighed it when we got back) on the rack.
Not one problem
Thank you
