Great sun-soaked photo of a 2009 Honda Civic bike roof rack system with the Yakima Q-Tower car rack system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q131 clips, and Yakima 58" crossbars) finished off with the Yakima 50" Fairing and the Yakima High Roller bike rack.
Here’s a mighty swell photograph of a 2009 Honda Civic roof rack bike carrier system decked out with the Yakima Q-Towers car rack multi-purpose base system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q131 clips, and Yakima 58″ crossbars). Mounted upon the base rack cross bars is the Yakima High Roller upright mount bike carrier working hard to carry a BMX bike with 20″ wheels. One of the great things about the Yakima High Roller bike rack is its ability to carry any bike, regardless of wheel size, frame configuration, brake set up, and tire width. Heck, if your bike has two wheels, the High Roller will carry it. Rounding out this Yakima roof top bike rack set up is the Yakima 50″ wind fairing to quiet that confounded wind noise and a set of Yakma SKS 6 pack of locks to keep any pilferin’ hoodlums at bay.

A fine shot of a 2001 Audi TT roof bike rack system with the Inno INA 383 Fork Lock II Bike Rack mounted directly to Audi TT factory roof racks.
This 2001 Audi TT came with the Audi OEM roof racks which have aerodynamic, oval shaped crossbars. Not all attachments can mount directly to these bars due to their shape, but the Inno INA 383 Fork Lock II bike rack definitely can. It comes with universal mounting hardware so it can not only mount directly to these bars without adapters, but also virtually any factory crossbars, as well as, of course, Inno, Thule, and Yakima crossbars. The Inno INA383 bike tray also comes with locks and keys, so it is truly ready to go right out of the box.

Great picture of a 2008 VW GTI bike roof rack with Thule 400XT base rack system and Rocky Mounts Pitchfork bike racks.
Here is a good example of how a roof rack system can add some serious style points to an already stylish car. This 2008 VW GTI had nothing on the rooftop before we installed the Thule 400XT roof rack system and then slapped on a couple low profile, red Rocky Mounts Pitchforks. The customer was a bit hesitant to change the look of his ride, but when he took one look at the finished product he was very satisfied.

Subaru Tribeca with Yakima Load Warrior Cargo Basket attached directly to Subaru Tribeca Factory Roof Racks and Yakima Steelhead Bike Racks and Yakima Wheel Forks
Wow! Thanks to Paul in Burlington, VT for showing off his sweet Yakima set up on his sweet Subaru Tribeca, which perfectly shows how nicely Yakima attachments can be mounted to the Yakima Loadwarrior Cargo Basket. Paul is no doubt a biker, and has himself three Yakima Steelhead bike racks paired with three Yakima Wheel Forks. His LoadWarrior, as you can see, is mounted directly to his Subaru factory crossbars. Perhaps he uses that to carry loads of camping gear when he’s not going biking.

Subaru Forester Factory Side Rail Roof Rack System for carrying bikes and kayaks. Product used are Thule 450 Crossroads base sytem, Thule 516 Prologue bike rack, and Thule 830 Stacker kayak rack.
Here is a Subaru Forester car rack taking a break from a hard day’s work. Mounted onto the Subaru Forester factory side rails is the Thule 450 Crossroads system with a pair of 58″ loadbars. Mounted to the Thule 450 Crossroads system are two Thule 516 Prologue bike carriers and one Thule 830 Kayak Stacker. If my calculations are correct, this set up will carry two bicycles and two kayaks at once. If my speculations are correct, these folks know how to live it up.

Q: I’ve been searching for compatible options for a 2009 Audi A4 roof rack (sedan model). I can’t find any car racks that work with this car. Am I out of luck?
A: The Yakima Q Tower multi-purpose base rack system is works superbly as a 2009 Audi a4 sedan car rack system. Attaches directly to your vehicle’s smooth rooftop that currently has no factory rack, factory side rails, rain gutters etc. Provides a sturdy base rack system capable of safely transporting all kinds of gear. You can attach any Yakima roof mount bike carriers to the base rack cross bars.
