Anyone here have a roof rack on a 00 hatch? Which brand do you have and do you like?

Thanks.

 

why would u ruin a nice car?

 

Get a hitch-mounted bike rack. They are much easier to use.

I used to have a Thule roof rack. They are a pain so I traded mine for a hitch-rack.

 

its not like he is putting a roof rack on a Ferrari, its a damn Honda. a friend has one on his 00 hatch, he likes it, almost always has a bike on it

a friend of mine has one on his ek, it looks pretty pimp....sorta like a sleeper look

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Don't disrespect a EK like that......shame on you!!!!

 

Check out Yakima or Thule. They have websites. Don't listen to these people on here. I think a rack looks pimp on a car if you put it to use.

If you plan on using it alot, I'd go with the roof rack. If not, a trunk rack would suffice and also be cheaper.

 

I work at a bike shop and having dealt with ALL sorts of racks I recommend you find an OLD rear-mount. The roof racks are a pain in the ***. The new rear mounts have shitloads of straps and take forever to get setup. I have used (for many years now) an old sears brand rear mount which has a total of 3 straps. I lug 2 bikes on it at high speeds sometimes and for long distances - never had a problem. Anyway, if you're set on a roof rack, go with a Yakima. Thule uses a very boxy design that looks good on mainly german cars, Yakima is a rounded design that look better on anything else (they both function the same).

edit: spelling mistake.
