Q: I have a 2010 scion xb with a Yakima permanent mount rack system. I would like to add the wisp-bar rails. Does Yakima offer a whispbar system for Yakima tracks? Also which MightyMount would be needed to work with the higher?
A: Yes, we can get you a Whispbar Rack system to mount to the Yakima tracks you have permanently mounted on your 2010 Scion xB. First we need to get a little more information from you regarding the tracks and the particular style Whispbars you would like.
First, what is the measurement from center to center of the spread between the tracks? This information is necessary to make sure you get the correct length Whispbar cross bars. You also need to choose which style Whispbar cross bars you would like. Here are your options:
Whispbar Flush Bar Roof Rack – This option is the cleanest look as the bar ends are enclosed in the feet.
Whispbar Through Bar Roof Rack – This option has the bars extending out past the feet by a few inches on either side. This option will give you a little more bar area to mount whatever it is you want to mount (ski, bike, kayak carriers, etc).
Whispbar HD Bar Roof Rack – This is a beefier bar that works the same as the Through Bars, but have the potential to carry more weight (up to 220 lbs vs. 150 lbs for the other bars), but this is dependent on the vehicle. Since your application is not an official fit, we cannot quote an increased capacity.
And lastly you would need the K450 fit kit. The fit kits are included in the above mentioned complete systems, but you would just need to request this particular fit kit for your application.
