Hi all,
While the 914 has a decent amount of luggage space, I recently took mine on a 2 week vacation, and I would have loved to have a little bit more space for hauling stuff during that trip. To that end, has anybody tried fitting a roof rack like this to their car? If so, I'd love to hear your experiences, and/or see pictures. Thanks!

QUOTE(cn2800 @ Sep 17 2018, 10:35 PM)  Why not have something made that uses the existing threaded holes and slots for the original ski rack? I was thinking about the ski mount holes too.. and If a front mount could be figured out for the A pillar (or top of windshield beam) it would allow one to (be able to) run with a rack AND also with the top off, if you choose. But how does the ski rack mount at the front? I noticed that there was a roof rack offered for the vintage 911 TARGA cars, that utilized brackets that attached to the sides of the A pillars for the front. Looks a little clunky tho. On the other hand the original poster's more modern set up may just be more simple and stream lined, and could be used with various attachments like a half-basket, kayak holder, bike, etc. I feel the roof and latches would be strong enough (assuming rubber seals are solid), but who knows. |
