I saw a Insight at the voting poll today with a sliding adjustable rack
track on each side of the roof. Anyone know a good source for these and or experience with racks?
Thanks

I have never seen these on an Insight and would not want one on mine. I'd hate to dent my aluminum top.

EEEEEEEEEK!!
And ruin the 0.25 drag coefficent, are you mad?!?!?

I'd rather tow a small trailer behind if you NEEDED extra space.

I found this while searching the net:

http://www.dartmouth.edu/~sullivan/roofrack.html

http://www.autoanything.com/sg/car-acce ... index.aspx - I am not so sure about this site, as I do not understand how any of the accessories would even fit on an Insight.

lol @ that dartmouth rack! brings to mind the old days of the 50s & 60s VW Beetle roof racks.

So is that guy saying his lmpg is 82!?!

Also that silly autoanything site is a joke. Most of those bolt on accessories aren't specifically for the Insight, they are just "general use" items. The site changes the titles of everything to say "Insight...whatever" so you will buy them. Really just a stupid web-marketing trick.

I mean is anyone seriously going to believe that someone makes a 10,000lb winch specifically for a Honda Insight?

Roof rack...

When I was looking into bicycle racks last year, I found that Saris makes rack feet for the Insight. They're one of the big three (Thule and Yakima) so I proceeded with the purchase of my car.

Haven't gotten the rack yet, since it's been just me transporting a bicycle thus far, but should that change I wouldn't hesistate. Besides, the added height would increase the car's visibility. :lol:
