Roof Racks?

[Manji]

This is for a friend of mine...

She wants to know where you can get a good "roof rack" and Thule cannister for Mazda Protege 5?

Hopefully, somebody in the TERB world knows where to get it?

Thanx....

I think there is a place on Laird or Millwood called Rack Attack - it's an auto accessory shop, not line of Anal videos - can't remember the link but I'm sure she can look it up easily.

Those things will hurt her fuel economy. If she's not carrying passengers, I'd suggest folding the seats & trying to jam it in - even wih the rear hatch partially open. Unless she just wants it as a lifestyle badge.

Thanks fantasiafan and Hard Idle....

Will relay the info to her....

She needs the rack for a road trip....

Just a little big more info for you: roof racks and or anything attached to the roof will ruin your aerodynamics and (especially on the highway) will ruin your fuel economy.

If there is anyway she can get the items inside the vehicle, it will be much better....

Few good suggestions above.

When I was checking out Mazda 3, Markham Mazda sells Thule & rack as add-on. Pricey though.

If she doesn't need a hardcase cargo box, Uhaul rents bags http://www.uhaul.com/roofpouch/

Yakima is another good hardcase brand.

Canadian Tire has Thule sales every few months. I brought a soft bag for 25% off. Some stores stock good rack selection.

Thanks guys for the info....


My friend went to Rack Attack....From what she told me they did a good job helping her out and even assisted in putting the rack up....


Hitchcity was an option but apparently you have to order the rack and wait for it to come in.....


She skipped the cannister.....too pricey
