Roof Rack

Ok im looking to buy one of these for winter season to lug all my shizzle up to the mountain and I have no clue whats good and whats not. Anyone know what are the good brands? I think they're universal, correct me if im wrong.

i have one for sale, check to see if the sizes of the parts are universal. if they are then you can use everything except you'll just need to get new clips made specifically for your car.

I modified the clips to mount under the rain gutters for a cleaner look and to allow me to use the rack with my jdm rainguards. You can use the rack as is and it will work perfectly on any GD Subaru.

this is NOT my car, but it is a picture of how the rack mounts... it goes under the rain gutters instead of coming down around the door frames... cleaner looking, wont mess up your window moldings, and allows you to use a rack along with jdm rainguards.



info on the simple modification to do this is here: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=882744

Included in this complete kit are:
4 Q-Towers
4 Q-Clips modded as described above
2 48" Crossbars
1 44" Wind Fairing
2 Bike Attachments
5 Locks (4 for the rack itself, and 1 locking bike attachment)

Make a reasonable offer... I'll look into what I feel its worth used so please dont bother trying to take advantage by lowballing me. Looking for local pickup in or around Langhorne, PA.

Thanks,
Bryan

I have a Thule aftermarket one for my MK4. The rubber pads don't fit the roof well-- I plan on getting OEM soon

I would get an OEM Votex (which Thule makes) roof rack. You can get good deals on ebay, 1stvwparts.com & worldimpex.com
