Question:

I have a 2016 4-door Ford Fiesta, and I’m looking for a naked roof kit. There are a bunch around a similar price range $440-500, but I’d love some guidance on what will fit best. It will primarily be used for hauling two kayaks. I bought a sport rack sr1010 from sport rack’s website, but it does not fit well on my car. I’ll probably buy a new car in about a year and a half, so if possible I’d like to have crossbars that can be used on my next car, with different feet/towers. Do you have any suggestions for what a good option would be?

Expert Reply:

The best value roof rack we have for your 2016 Ford Fiesta that has a naked roof is the Inno rack part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK872. This will fit MUCH better than the Sportrack you tried as it is a custom fit rack and what you tried is only semi-custom and is a design that would most likely at least partially transfer to a similar future vehicle.

Then for a 2 kayak carrier the Thule Compass part # TH890000 fits this rack and would be an easy way to carry your kayaks. It's padded and can fold down when not in use as well. I attached a review video link for this for you to check out as well.
