Question:

Good day. I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla, and with an upcoming extended family summer trip from upstate New York to Florida, I would love to have a roof cargo system of some kind to accommodate my personal items. Would this be possible? Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.

Expert Reply:

For your 2001 Toyota Corolla, the Yakima roof rack with Q-clips has been discontinued. They don't currently have a system for your vehicle, so I recommend the Inno roof rack. It consists of # INXB100-2, # INXS200, and # INK134.

Once you have a roof rack setup installed, you can use a cargo box to transport extra gear on the roof rack. I would recommend a shorter box on the Corolla like the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, due to the shorter length of the roof on your Corolla.

I added a link to a video review for a Yakima Cargo Box and to some roof rack information you may find interesting.
