Expert Answers about Roof Rack

• Sportrack Roof Rack and Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2008 Nissan Sentra
• For your 2008 Nissan Sentra 4 door you would want a SportRack Roof Rack # SR1002. This rack has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. The part # SR1010 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit your vehicle and I would not recommend it for you. The SportRack SkyLine XL Cargo Box # SR7095 that you referenced also should work well on the # SR1002 as well. I attached a review video for this cargo box for you to check out also.

• Will the Rola Roof Cargo Basket Fit a 2011 Nissan Xterra with Rhino-Rack Roof Rack
• The Rhino-Rack crossbars in roof rack # SXBS9 are 3-1/8 inches wide, the same as the Rola bars, so the Rola cargo basket will fit on the Rhino-Rack bars. The bars will need to be spaced a center distance apart on center to accommodate the basket. There are 4 possible crossbar spreads that will work: 26-1/4 inches, 30 inches, 33-3/4 inches, or 37-1/2 inches. You will just need to place the crossbars to match one of these 4 bar spreads. The widest, 37-1/2 inches, would be the best. I have incl

• Trunk Mounted Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Nissan Versa
• Between a trunk mounted bike rack and a roof rack mounted bike rack I believe you will be best served with a trunk mounted option. Anytime you mount anything on your roof you end up with additional road noise and less gas mileage. Since you plan on going on several pretty long trips a month I think you would rather not take the hit in gas mileage and not have to deal with the noise of the rack. Also with roof mounted accessories you have to worry about ground clearance. For a trunk mounted

• How to Carry 17 Foot Sea Kayaks with a 2013 Nissan Altima Sedan
• On a 2013 Nissan Altima sedan, the system with the most space between the crossbars (measuring from the center of one bar to the center of the next bar) is 28 inches. You would use crossbars # WB-S16 and fit kit # WB-K483. This is probably not going to provide you with enough length to safely mount the sea kayaks to the vehicle. What I recommend is to use what is called a roof rack on wheels. This is essentially a small trailer meant to carry items like a roof rack would. You can use # RRT60

• Will the Yakima Sidewinder Bike Rack Fit on Elliptical Style Crossbars on a 2013 Nissan Altima
• The Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack, # DA118B and # DK169 will fit a 2013 Nissan Altima, however the Yakima Sidewinder Tandem Bike Rack, # Y02071, is only compatible with round crossbars. According to my contact at Yakima, Yakima does not offer an adapter that will allow the Sidewinder bike rack to be used with elliptical style crossbars because the weight of the bike rack and a tandem bike would be too great for the adapters and an elliptical style rack. To use your Yakima Sidewinder bi

• The SportRack roof rack, # A21010S, is listed as a fit for a 2012 Nissan Juke.The square bars are the same size as the Thule bars so an accessory that fits Thule load bars will fit the SportRack bars in this roof rack system. You just have to make sure that the accessories that you have will fit a center to center bar spread of 26 inches. On some ski carriers this is not an issue. But if you can tell me which carrier you have I can verify fit.

• Recommended Cargo Basket for 2011 Nissan with Rhino Rack Crossbars
• I would recommend the Rhino Rack Cargo Basket, part # RMCB which would be compatible with the Rhino Rack Crossbars you mentioned. The Rola Roof Rack, # 59504 will fit crossbars up to 3-1/4 inches wide, the mounting brackets could not accommodate the wider 3-1/2 inch width of the Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars. The bottom of the RMCB would sit directly on top of the crossbars. The crossbars would be approximately 5-1/4 inches high, from the top of the vehicle to the top of the crossbar. The bask

• Comparing Thule and Rhino-Rack Roof Racks for a 2011 Nissan Maxima
• In terms of protecting the vehicle finish, both the Rhino-Rack and Thule systems install by using specially designed clips to fit the vehicle and the towers rest on pads. As long as the bottoms of the pads and the vehicle roof are clean when installing, you should not have a problem with the finish on the vehicle. Both systems also will be about the same in terms of installing and removing. You will have to do some careful measuring when you first install the systems. After that removing or r

• Roof Racks for 2010 Nissan Versa and 2009 Kia Rio 5
• Let me begin by saying that the only portion of the roof rack system that is vehicle specific is what Thule refers to as a Fit Kit and Yakima calls Q Clips. This portion of the system is what actually holds the load bar supports to the vehicle. If you are wanting a rack system that will work on both vehicles, I would recommend purchasing the Q Towers (Yakima) or Rapid Aero Foot Packs (Thule) which act as supports for the load bars and the load bars themselves. You would then need a set of th
