Question:

I am planning on purchasing the rhino-rack 2500 to attach to my 2009 Toyota matrix fixed mounting points. The website defaults to recommending the part DK185 Custom DK Fit Kit for a naked roof installation. Do I need to buy a kit for the fixed roof installation? THANK YOU.

Expert Reply:

For your 2009 Toyota Matrix the only style roof rack system is the clamp on style rather than bolting to fixed mounting points. I would recommned the Inno roof rack system with square bars that clamp securely to your roof. The # INB107 crossbars are mated with the # INSUT feet and # INK244 fit kit, and install easily. The square bars are heavy duty and work with most accessories.

You might also consider the Inno # INXB108-2, with # INXS250 feet, and # INK244 fit kit for a roof rack with low profile, and more aerodynamic Aero crossbars that have T-channels for accessories. Includes locks and keys.
