I'm going to mount my $20 junkyard rack on my eg.... permanently (weld it). It's designed to go into the front and rear door jambs but my hatch is obviously only a 2 door. What would you guys do to mount it? In the rain channel? One in the front door with the other mounted to the body?

The permanent roof rack is a requirement as the eg is my winter car and racket straps just aren't cutting it.

 

I'll repost when I get pics.

 

check Yakima's website-i believe they have some type of non-doorjamb mounts.

whats wrong with the door jam mount racks? i ran it on my eg every winter, no leaks, no probs, carries 4 boards w/o issues.

if you want to put the rear stanchions further back,there is no door jamb to attach it to.

i believe so.just a couple posts up if i'm not mistaken.
apparently,he wants the rear mounts further back.i install Yakima and Thule products all the time at work,so i am familiar with them.

Yeah, I want them further back. I am going on a 2000 mile roadtrip so I don't want any problems. I bought my rack out of a junkyard for $20. I'll probably just buy a different rack like Chris said.
