has anyone mounted a roof rack on their insight? I need to move my sea kayak around. I've been able to put it off so far as I know how easy it is to scratch a roof doing this but now the car is almost 2 and I have needs.

An earlier thread basically ended with a recommendation that you get one from the following site:

I noticed, months ago, when I looked, that they showed no racks for a 2003 Insight, but they do show racks for a 2002 Insight. Likely, that's just a database problem, since there is no known difference in the bodies of these two model years.

Good luck.

HandiRack

A cheaper alternative is to look into HandiRacks. They are basically inflatable tubes that strap to the roof of your car by going through the doors. I used them this past weekend to take my TWO kayaks home. They do scuff the finish on the roof some, but you could probably put something in between to minimize that and I think a polishing would get most of the scuffs out.
