Roof Racks

Get all the room you need inside your car by putting your bikes, cargo or kayak on your rooftop. Thule, Yakima and Rola roof racks are built to the highest quality specifications to accommodate all your cargo needs.

Thule and Yakima offer roof bike racks in the traditional fork mount style or in the easy to load, wheel mount style.

Cargo baskets from Rola, Yakima and Thule offer a great looking way to get your cargo out of your vehicle and safely carry it on your trip. Roof cargo bags and roof boxes can also be used if you would like some waterproof or water resistant protection for your cargo.

If you need to carry bulky skis, snowboards, kayak or a canoe, putting it on the roof is a great option to unclutter your vehicle and keep the gear safe. We offer Yakima and Thule ski racks and watersport carriers that are sturdy and safe for all your cargo needs.

On the roof rack here we'll remove the torques bolts that hold the rail onto the vehicle. We're going to go ahead and remove the first bolt toward the front here on the passenger side rail. With that bolt removed we'll take that stud included with the Whispbars as well as the lock nut and the nylon washer and start it into the hole here on our roof.Once we've got pretty of thread in the hole on the roof we can then take the lock nut and lock it down using the included wrench.

  • 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 Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Raised Rails Fit a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan w/Panoramic Roof
  • For a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan that has the factory side rails that run front to back then you can use the AeroBlade Edge roof rack # TH7501-TH7502, whether you have the panoramic roof or not. Thule was just here for training and the new Edge systems are very streamlined and have a more OEM appearance. If you need the roof rack for a specific type of carrier, let me know and I can make some recommendations.

  • Rola Roof Rack for a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited w/ Panoramic Roof
  • Since your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has the side rails that run front to back you will need to use a specific Rola roof rack, # 59766. It is designed to work with the rails whereas a foot and clip mount rack like # 59765 would not be able to install because of the rails. The systems that attach to the rails also have a more OEM appearance and they will not interfere with the panoramic roof.

  • Will Thule Roof Rack # TH45050 Fit a 2009 Honda Odyssey
  • If your 2009 Honda Odyssey has the side rails that run front to back on the roof then yes, roof rack # TH45050 will fit your van. The square Thule bars, like those used in this roof rack, have been the same for many years so your older box should have no issue fitting on the bars. Most cargo boxes can adjust to be more forward or rearward on the roof. The roof rack can also be moved forward if needed so you can open the rear hatch. But even with all of this adjustability, it may not be enoug

  • The Thule Traverse Roof Rack System for your 2013 Ford C-Max 5-Door, consisting of parts # THLB58, # TH480 and # THKIT1683, will not interfere with your rear hatch.

We do have several roof mount bike racks that will fit these bars. For roof mounted bike racks, there are basically 2 styles: those that require removing the front wheel and those that do not. Out of all the options (which I have linked individually below) I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 if you do not

  • To carry a kayak on the roof of your 2009 Nissan Sentra you would start with a roof rack like # SR1002. Then you would add a kayak carrier like # SR5512.

  • The Rola Sport Series APE bars measure 3-1/8 inches wide by 1 inch tall. To determine if your Thule cargo box will fit on the bars, you will need to measure the mounts on your cargo box to see if they will accommodate a bar of that size.

Measure from the center of the cover at the front to the center of the cover at the rear. This dimension will be your b

  • 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
