im getting a bike rack soon to carry my fixie around. im just wondering if the yakima y system racks would take q clips from the q tower system. I know the q clips for the 94-00 3 dr tegs are q69 and 70, but anyways just a little question.

Man, I just throw my bikes in the hatch. I've got super dark tint, so I"m not worried about my bike getting ripped off if I leave them in the car while at work or whatever. ****e, for the cost of these racks, you could pick up a pretty decent bike!

I made a custom rack for my car. Its a bolt on bmw roof rack retrofitted to my teggy. Rack goes the entire length of the roof rather then just the door opening. It's also completely removable by removing 4 screws. Makes for a nice clean install in the gutters. The red is paint matched as well.Enjoy.

Just a question...How many people with roof racks actually USE them? No offense to anybody, but imo (and it's just MY opinion afterall), the roof racks are another quick fad like the rear window visor. Looks cool for the moment, but real props to those who actually put stuff on thier roof racks ;)

you would be surprised how often I throw my bike on top of the car.
as well as other members throw whatever they have.
yes some people use them as a fad but I like mine and thats all that matters

IMHO the extenders are worth it for coupes. Without them any sort of sizable load from a couple bikes to a car top carrier can create substantial levels of forward and back "wobble" for lack of a better term. The extenders give the system more stability, especially on bumpier surfaces or at freeway speeds in windy environments.

I also don't keep my rack on all the time. It takes about 5 minutes to put on or take off. I notice I get about 2-3 mpg less with the roof rack on (with the wind deflector) and the increased wind noise is horrendous.

I also see people with roof racks and ski/snowboard mounts in the summer as extremely lazy.

thanks for the info on the stretch kit, I just haven't seen anybody use them to often. I will keep it then.

Does anyone have experience with pitting a surfboard on a teg with a roof rack? Maybe a particular one? I have an 8' longboard that I hope to take to the beach quite often this summer and if i can make it work (safely), I'd rather not have to take my Jeep every time!

I haven't done it so I don't have first hand experience, but all you need is the basic universal roof rack system with Integra specific Q-Clips (for the Yakima system that is). The custom item is the surfboard strap: Yakima Surfboard Rack - Quadratec

Thule Vs Yakima Surfboard Racks | The Surfboard Racks Blog

The other option is to remove your passenger seat, fold your back seats down, and throw the longboard in the cabin. No rock chips or bugs.
