Roof Rack (Factory)

I just got a factory roof rack for my 04. It looks like reasonable quality. The only downside is there are no accessories for it yet. I really need something to take my kayak back and forth from home to cottage.

It looks pretty easy to install. I'm doing that tomorrow. Very very low profile so I would expect to have very little wind noise from it. Max capacity is 150lbs.

The top has a rubber insert all the way down the center to pad whatever is strapped to it. The allen bolts that put it together have a center pin so you need to use a special wrench to assemble it. Good security idea. Better than nothing.

If anyone has more questions about it, ask away.

Cheers,

CanadianMofo.

Hey someone has to do it. I may switch to a trailer later. I'm a sea kayak instructor in my spare time.

My only concern is that the kayak my not match the car very well. I may have to get it painted to match.

Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc., which are attached to the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of the compass which is integrated into the rearview mirror (non-navigation).
