Roof Racks
so i guess noone knows?
Well i called Rack Attack and they came empty handed
Has anyone called Yakima or Thule?
I mean the only hesitation i got from Rack Attack is that its a Pano roof, but technically the panel closer to the doors is metal...so why there is such a dillema?
Plus if i only plan to use it for Snowboard, in my opinion any roof rack would work, as long as it supports itself on those metal rails...
Anyone on this?
Thanks!

I have a Thule Aero roof rack system on my 09. I have carried two bikes and a luggage tub on mine. worked great but my mileage sucked. Thule makes a fit kit just for our vehicles....wouldn't use a trunk or bumper mount ever. I think the roof rack with wind deflector makes it look euro-badass
I have pics on here somewhere, search for them

Hi Colnajoe,
thanks for the response!
I saw your post, could you sned me a pic on how and where the legs of the rack mount onto the roof part?
I am interested in seeing on whether thats going to interfere with the pano.

Now I have a newer Maxima with the dual-sun roof, I'm fairly certain the Yakima will work however the clips for it make me wonder how scratched up the roof will get.
I've arrived at the decision that a rear trunk mount is the safer way to go, I want to get the Thule 9003 Raceway Platform however I'm not certain it will work with our car.

Plan to investigate in a couple weeks.

Thanks for the headsup,
from looking at Yakima legs i can see it deff working.
AS far as scratching the roof, well this can be tackling with either a thin rubber gasket or the thick-type-clear-bra protection film.
Going to stop by Rack attack Friday and see how it all works out.

Last year I visited my local REI and I remember the staff telling me the Thule wouldn't work with the dual-sun roof Maxima, at the time I had my 09 which didn't have the dual-sun roof so it didn't matter to me at the time, although I never purchased it I just used my truck.
Now I have a newer Maxima with the dual-sun roof, I'm fairly certain the Yakima will work however the clips for it make me wonder how scratched up the roof will get.

Not so great news for me as I already have Thule aeroblades and footpads that fit a 'Non-pano-roof' Max. Anyways, that's the scoop I have for now.
