Customer install photo of a shiny red 2005 Toyota Matrix roof rack kayak carriers system with the Yakima Q-Tower base rack system (Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q83 and Q116 Q clips, and Yakima 48" roundbars) and two Yakima HullRaiser J-style kayak racks.

Your car has a naked roof and you feel like raising some hull. Here is a great way to reach your goal.  Start out with the Yakima Q-Tower system, which with its round bars fits rounded roofs like the one of this 2005 Toyota Matrix perfectly.  This Q-Tower complete set up uses a set of Yakima Q-Towers, one set of Yakima Q83 Q-clips and one set of Yakima Q116 clips, a pair of Yakima 48″ round bars, and for theft prevention, a Yakima SKS 4 lock pack .  For theft protection for your boats, we suggest the Yakima BoatLoacker kayak lock. Once your Yakima Q-Tower multi purpose base rack system is in place, you are free to attach the specific carriers you need to carry your gear.  In the case of carrying kayaks, the Yakima HullRaiser kayak rack is a great choice, and this customer, who needs to carry two boats, went ahead and installed two of ‘em.

A great way to boost the cargo capacity of a smaller car is with a cargo box.  This Toyota Matix is using a Thule Atlantis 1600 Cargo Box, which is the perfect size box for this vehicle.  You can see that because it isn’t too long, it won’t interfere with the opening of the rear hatch, yet it is wide enough to carry lots of gear.  The Thule Atlantis 1600 luggage rack is mounted to the Thule 400XT base rack system.
