> Anybody carrying kayaks on a car with a moon roof? I've got a moon roof on my 96 Integra GS-R and it's hauled boats perfectly fine. Being able to look up at the boats is nice. The biggest thing is remembering that you can't open the moon roof with the bars up there (at least if you have the type of moon roof that pops up and slides above the roof). My one downside applies to any rack you clamp to a roof. It scrapes the paint at the door frame and leaves footprints where the rubber feet sit on the roof. Next car I get will either have a built in rack or I'm getting a Hidden Hitch and trailer (which would probably help my gas mileage). Mel There are 10 kinds of people, those that understand Binary and those that don't. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

>> Anybody carrying kayaks on a car with a moon roof? I've got a Mini Cooper S. Mini has attached the factory racks directly to the roof and frame by pre-locating (by design) the location for the roof racks. It has a dual sun-roof (fore and aft) and with the Thule j-racks I carry two in the saddles and one in between. No worries at all. Mini claims a 260lb weight capacity.
