Roof Rack options

Hey All,

I've been looking around for a roof rack for my canoe. I was looking at SportRack brand but they don't seem to have an option for the G3 Fit.
I don't know what the difference would be between a G2 and a G3 that would make a difference. Has anyone tried putting a SportRack roof rack on a G3?

What other options are there other than Thule and Yakima. They are awfully pricey. Here in Toronto, you're looking at over $600 for the Thule system!

Facing a short timeline and haven't really investigated the yakima rack system but send me the details of what you have and I'll look into it.
Tks

Well, not quite. What I said was "give me the details" but go for it, Overdrive. I just bought a Thule system on Kijiji this afternoon for about half what it would have cost me new, once I buy the right kit. So, I'm good.

Tks, All.

-4 Q5 Clips/Footpads (for GD Fit, can work on other cars as well- check yakima website)
**fairing not included, although I might change my mind for the right price**




$100 + paypal fee + shipping.

Let me know. Thanks!

I'm looking into a roof rack too. Can you share how the Yakima rack is captured on the roof? In the picture (not a Yakima) the foot sits on the structural part of the roof and is compressed in place using a hook in tension.
