Question:
Hi there, I own a 2016 Ford Fusion SE and I am looking to get a roof rack crossbar setup to be able to haul a small boat of mine that is 9ft long and 45 inches wide. Im hoping to find something that fits my Fusion, which has a sunroof, and isnt too noisy or windy when driving.

Hey Alec,
For your 2016 Ford Fusion I recommend the recommend a roof rack from Inno:
Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB138-145
Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS250
Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200, XS250, and INSU-K5 Roof Rack Feet # INK860
As with any other roof rack option for your vehicle you will not likely be able to open the sun roof while the bars are in place, but if you did the wind/noise from the crossbars would be very annoying. This isn't an issue with the quality of the crossbars, just simply the reality you'll have to live with when using a roof rack with an open sunroof. I've attached a short video below where Ryan will walk you through the installation process and give you a look at this system on a 2018 Fusion.

Thanks for the quick reply, Kevin. I had never heard of the Inno brand before but they sound promising. Just curious, why would you recommend that brand over, say, Thule or Yakima? I've seen those on your site as well. Similarly, I appreciate the aerodynamic nature of these Inno models. However, they don't have any overhang/extra length which I'd prefer for mounting the boat. I'm not sure the 38 in end-to-end space is going to cut it. Last question — while I'm primarily looking for the roof rack for my boat, I'm likely going to be using it for ski/snowboard storage as well in the winter. Does this Inno brand have compatible holders for those as well?
