heep70 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I use Yakama, but I have the whole rack. Bike trays and roof rack that clamps to the drip rails. There is a pick of it in my gallery (not a very clear one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof is so flimsy though I was worried! The wiggling of the bike caused the roof to bend substantially so this is what I did: I used the rain gutter mounts on the front bar which holds the forks, and I used the roof-rail mounts on the rear bar which just cradled the rear tire. My bike mount is the normal style which holds the fork legs. Works great! The front bar is super strong now which is what takes the side to side load. Also I could move the front bar forward over the sunroof which allowed me to open the hatch all the way. (Something to think about!) It does whistle at freeway speeds if I have the sunroof open. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
