Thule 460R Rapid Podium roof rack
Using the Thule 3069 Podium Fit Kit, along with the Thule 460R Rapid Podium Foot Pack and pair of Thule Rapid Aero load bars, to install the Thule 460R Rapid Podium car rack system to a 2006 Mazda 3 5-door hatchback, this video delivers a good demonstration and explanation on how to mount a roofrack to a car, van or pickup truck cab roof that has factory installed fixed attachment points. Many modern vehicles have fixed point attachments located on the roof top. These points allow for the installation of an aftermarket multi-purpose base rack system. The Thule Racks 460R Rapid Podium system delivers a superb, clean and premium integrated look when installed. There are many different styles and types of fixed point attachments on the various vehicle makes and models, hence Thule Racks offers many different Podium Fit Kits to fit these specific configurations (the video uses the 3069 Fit Kit on the Mazda 3 as an example).

Thule 460 Podium roof rack system
An excellent demonstration video and review of the Thule 460 Podium roof rack system, intended for use on vehicles with fixed rack attachment points on the car or pickup truck rooftop. Many vehicles rolling off the factory lines today include these fixed point attachments on the roof top, allowing for an aftermarket roof rack to mount to these points to achieve a nice integrated and clean look. The leading system currently is the Thule 460 Podium complete system, which includes a 460 Podium Foot Pack, set of Podium Fit Kit brackets and a pair of Thule square load bars. There are many different Podium Fit Kit brackets available for use on all the differing styles of fixed point attachments found on different vehicles. In this video the Thule 3069 Podium Fit Kit is used on a 2006 Mazda 3 5-door hatchback. With the base rack installed, you can then mount any gear carriers to the load bars to carry all your gear.

Yakima Control Towers roof rack system
An excellent demonstration video featuring one of the several applications the Yakima Control Tower roof rack system is designed for, in this case used as a complete multi-purpose base rack system for a car with factory installed fixed point attachments located on the vehicle roof top. Video shows how the Yakima Racks LP11 Landing Pads #11 mount to the 2000 Mazda 3 5-door hatchback fixed attachment points. The set of 4 Yakima Control Towers (with the pair of cross bars connected) then quickly attach to the Landing Pads. There are several Yakima Landing Pads available for use with specific vehicles with factory fixed point rack attachment locations. As stated previously, the Yakima Control Towers and Landing Pads are a very versatile solution for multiple types of other applications including mounting to factory tracks (replacing the factory rack), permanently installed roof tracks on cars, pickup truck caps, toppers & camper shells, roof tracks on popup campers etc.

Get a quick refresher on what applications are perfect for using the Yakima Racks Landing Pads. This ORS Racks Direct Yakima Landing Pads video demonstrates how the Landing Pads are used with a set of Yakima Control Towers and a pair of cross bars to formulate a multi-purpose roof rack system that you can then attach any gear carrier to for transporting your surfboards, canoe and kayaks, stand up paddle board, bikes, luggage, ski and snowboards etc. The video explains how there are several different Yakima Landing Pads available for use with specific vehicle roof rack configurations such as factory mount fixed point rack attachment locations, mounting to factory tracks (replacing the factory rack), permanently installed roof tracks on cars, pickup truck caps, toppers & camper shells, roof tracks on popup campers etc.

Thule 690XT MOAB roof basket
This a good video from ORS Racks Direct to follow along to and learn all there is to know of the Thule 690XT MOAB basket, a general-purpose roof rack basket for carrying any cargo gear, luggage, camping equipment, beach supplies and more. Mounts to any factory racks as well as aftermarket roof racks from Thule, Yakima and Inno using the included set of four universal mounting clamps (lockable using a 4 pack of Thule locks). Includes a front basket fairing for styling, enhanced aerodynamics and protection of basket contents. Great accessories available such as the 692 Cargo Net that stows and secures everything in place during transport. Thule 691XT MOAB basket extension lengthens the basket another 20 inches for even more cargo carrying space. A very innovative feature is the pair of basket load bars that come included. You can attach any gear carriers to these load bars, allowing to transport bikes, kayaks, canoe, surfboards, standup paddleboards and more directly on the 690XT MOAB basket.

Thule 45050 Crossroad car rack kit
Thule 45058 Crossroad car rack kit
ORS Racks Direct offers another demonstration video, this time featuring the Thule Racks 45050 Crossroad / 45058 Crossroad roof rack kits. Video delivers a good explanation of these multi-purpose base rack systems for use on vehicles with factory side rails and how they are exactly the same as the regular Thule 450 Crossroad car rack system, except that these kits also include a set of Thule locks & keys and a specific length pair of load bars (the regular Thule 450 allows you to choose various cross bars length options). So if you know you want to use the 50 inch load bars, a better value deal is to go with the Thule 45050 kit (and likewise go with the Thule 45058 kit if you want to use 58 inch length crossbars). With the regular 450 Crossroad system you will need to purchase locks separately and the total will cost more than going with the all inclusive kit options.

This Inno car rack wind fairing video from ORS Racks Direct gives a great demonstration of how user friendly this factory rack wind fairing is. Includes universal mounting hardware, so besides mounting directly to Inno Racks base rack system crossbars and crossbars from Yakima Racks, Thule Racks etc, the Inno wind fairing will mount directly to virtually all factory rack cross bars too.

Serves double duty as a sleek, modern and aerodynamic finished touch to any roof rack, and also stops any possible wind noise or ‘whistling’, ‘humming’ and such that can sometimes occur with a roof rack system mounted to the top of a vehicle.

Malone Universal Cross Bars roof rack
If you’ve tightened the belt on spending these days and are frantically searching for a roof rack system that attaches to vehicle factory raised side rails, providing the cross bars needed for mounting gear carriers to carry your gear like surfboards, stand up paddleboard SUP, bikes, kayaks, canoe, skis and snowboards, luggage etc., you won’t want to waste any time checking out this new ORS Racks Direct video that showcases the Malone Auto Racks Universal Cross Rail roof rack system. The video covers all the features of this product, as well as providing a demonstration of how to install it onto a vehicle with factory raised side rails (the model vehicle in the video is a 2008 Volvo XC90). Mounts to most any standard raised factory side rails, however will not work on super fat diameter side rails such as those found on Nissan XTerra etc. This roof rack is available at a fraction of the cost of other much more expensive options from other leading car rack manufacturers (and the Malone Universal Cross Rails roof rack even includes a set of locks & keys to lock the car rack to the vehicle). FYI, for those that do not know, side rails are the pair of factory bars that run from the front to back of the roof top on the drivers side and passengers side.

SportRack Sherpa 13 roof bag
The SportRack A21106B Sherpa 13 roof bag is currently the leading cheap roof bag solution available on the market today for carrying cargo gear, luggage, camping equipment, beach supplies and more. A low-cost option for that annual family vacation trip, the SportRack Sherpa 13 car roof top cargo luggage gear gear keeps costs down and within budget, justifying why you decided to vacation road trip instead of forking over the big bucks for plane tickets for the entire family! Offers 13 cu/ft of storage capacity, plenty of room for stowing all the luggage and gear up on the car roof top instead of inside the car. Please note that the SportRack Sherpa roof bag requires a 4-way cross bar roof rack system for attachment, meaning the base rack system must have a pair of cross bars and a pair of raised side-rails on the rooftop (see video for further details). Made of durable heavy-duty materials, with 2-ply water resistant construction and includes a 3-sided zipper for easy access.

If your car or pickup truck cab has nothing on the roof top currently, such as no factory rack or factory side rails, no raingutters / drip rails, no roof tracks, no fixed attachment points etc., most likely your vehicle will require the Yakima Q Towers roof rack system.

Included with the Yakima Q Towers roof rack system are a set of four Yakima Q Towers, two pairs of Yakima Q Clips and a pair of Yakima round cross bars.

Very quick to install with easy-to-follow instructions included, the Q Towers are the leading roof rack base system for vehicles with nothing on the roof top currently. Accessory options such as a 4-pack of Yakima locks & keys (to lock the roof rack to the vehicle) and wind fairing (for design styling and elimination of any possible rack noise or ‘whistling’) are highly recommended.

An excellent solution for transporting long equpiment and gear, such as a canoe, extra-long kayaks, rowing shell, lumber, ladders and more, is to mount the Yakima DryDock T-bar hitch mast to any 2 inch trailer hitch receiver combined with a half pack roof rack system used on the front of the vehicle (in this video the Yakima Q Towers Half Pack roof rack is mounted to the pickup truck cab roof).
