LeDevil Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I was curious if anyone was using a roof rack on there dime. I'm looking for pictures of the old style like the ones used on Vw bugs. If anyone has pics please post. Something like this but that mounts to the drip rails http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/939684441.html Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I wouldn't use a rack that physically sits on the roof like that. You could get the normal Yakima (or Thule, etc) drip rail mount rack and put any kind of basket on it, or they have their own model basket(s) I believe. Quote Link to comment

Duke Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I think they look cooler than a Yakima or Thule rack... Quote Link to comment

fiveoneohray Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hey thats my car! you can use a beetle rack and do a simple widening of the feet to fit the gutter/drip rails. I have one that I was going to widen since it is a bug/universal rack. Quote Link to comment

Bandit240 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Ive got a factory style roof rack on my 210. Its screwed to the roof. I do regret putting it on there now, but too late. Im going to get one of those baskets to go on it once ive got the car on the road. Quote Link to comment
