Used roof rack/sizing?
What's going on good people? I have a conundrum I was hoping someone could help me solve. I'm currently browising my local Craigslist for a used roof rack for
My 2012 Honda fit but I'm not sure what sizes i need. I did a fitment on yakimas site and it told me I needed 48" bars but that was the only part I noticed that mentioned any type of measurement or anything that would be specific to my car. I guess that's my question, besides bars, is there anything else that has to "fit" my fit, or is it all the same besides the bars? |

Once you get the roof feet properly clamped and adjusted, the other parts that you need are locks that fit into the feet and that prevent anyone from loosening the clamps and stealing your rack. Suggestion: go to the Yakima or Thule web sites, and search for the entire roof rack parts list for your car. If Craigslist shows the correct parts that the rack- maker calls out for your Fit and you like the price, buy it, but there is still the chance that the clamping bolts have been damaged, locks are jammed, etc. You are better off buying a name-brand rack and all of the necessary components from a real dealer. You will pay more for the parts, but they will be new, undamaged, and will work on your car. Another tip- Yakima bars are normally round, and Thule bars are either square (the old style for GD's), or oval (the new Aero style that came out in the GE era). Oval cross bars don't need farings to stop wind noise, but round and square ones do need farings. |

Awesome! Thanks so much. So I think the price is good combined with free shipping and then I'll watch Craigslist for a fairling. I think those stays also come with this set so hopefully I'm good! Thanks again!
