This Scion xA kayak rack is comprised of a combination of the Yakima Q-Tower base rack system with Q120 and Q7 clips which provides the necessary crossbars–48″ crossbars in fact–to mount the Inno INA450 kayak carrier for two kayaks.  For security, the Yakima SKS 4 pack of locks keeps the Q-Towers in check, and the Yakima 38″ wind fairing virtually eliminates the wind noise.

Here is a nice customer installation shot of a 2005 Scion xB roof rack system fitted with the Thule 400XT complete base rack system (includes 400XT Aero Foot Pack, Thule 2124 Fit Kit clips and 58 inch load bars).  The Thule 400XT Aero car rack is the predecessor to the brand new Thule 480 Traverse car rack system, which is also an option for this vehicle).  For now, this blank canvas has only a front load bar mounted LED light, but the possibilities for gear transport are too numerous to count.
