Anyone hava an opinion on aftermarket roof racks ie brand/model? And price estimates would be great.

I'm looking for mostly a bike rack...but something that could double as a luggage rack/storage rack would be ideal.

try looking at the Yakima roof rack system. the basic rack system is about $250-300 and then you can add any accessory to it, for example: bike rails, storage box, snowboard, ski, etc...

http://yakima.com/home.html play around on the "rack configurator"

good stuff.

Do you think the stock 88-91 ones would fit on the 84-87?

What kind of after market racks fit on to the OWM rails? I got the OEM rack and rails, but that doesn't hold 4 snowboards.

i think mrwagovan made one himself. it looks great too

I have three different Yakima systems and they work great, but Ive seen the Thule systems and they fit a hell of a lot better on the roof. I just like the design better. Im too vested in Yakima to change though.

You should be able to get an attachment so you can use your stock rack and still be able to use aftermarket parts. I know they make them for the Subarus, but Ive never looked into the Honda wagons.

I was wondering if the mitsubishi outlander roof rack fits the wagon

our rooftop Yakima came with ours, and I love it! it fits directly into the OEM roof rail.

I also have the Yakima receiver hitch bike rack. SWEET!

Heraldhamster,

Do you have the part #'s for your oem compat. Yakima? Or maybe the product name?

I need, I need, I NEED.

FSC4wd,
what I found on the Yakima website for what we have is:
Landing Pad 7 (which is the crucial part that bolts directly into the OEM roof rack rail)
pad sold in sets of 2
#00221-#00227 (I assume these are the Yakima part numbers)

plus the regular equipment:
control towers
#00214 - set of four
#00212 - set of two

cross bars:
they come in four sizes 48", 58", 66", 78"
#00408, #00409, #00410, #00411 respectively

then your own choice of accessories to hold gear.

they have prices listed on the website as well, http://www.yakima.com
the Landing Pads are a little wonky to find, you have to go into the 'Products' tab, not 'Choose My Rack.' then select 'Rack Systems' and 'Factory Racks,' of course.

...jm.

Hey thanks. I went to the Yakima site and it wasn't clear to me what I needed. The pads are the missing link. I have Yaks on my Jetta all I need are the pads.

Love this board.

My roof rack comes from a mid-eighties Subaru Legacy. The width is just right.

The rack was held down with rivets on the Subaru but they popped right off after I pried on them with a flat screwdriver.

I screwed the roof rack right into the roof of my wagon and used rubber washers to make sure it wouldn't leak. I used Robertson head metal screws.

It actually looks stock !!
