So i plan on getting my pa12 this coming weekend so
I can sell it . My issue is i dont want to spend the 300 for
The roof rack on my element if im only going to use it once.

I was wondering if anyone would lend me thier roof rack
For the weekend. I can leave some kind of collateral or
Pay rental fee if desired . I could also leave some cash
For you to hold untill I return the racks unharmed.
I dont need anything extra just the rack got everything else

They need to be thule or yakima because the oem racks only
Hold 70 lbs.

Thank you
Oscar

What you might look into is renting an open type trailer from u haul. Last time I rented one it was like twenty bucks a day.

Thats a good idea would I be able to drop it off at a uhaul here or
Do i have to take it back to the shop i got it from?

I've used u haul trucks and trailers a lot and one way trips have never been a problem. I never felt like I was getting soaked for taking it only one way. People move daily and never look back.

personally I would just stick it on the OEM rack and not worry about it. Tie a bow and stern line for piece of mind.

You dont think the OEM weight capacity would be an issue?
The oem are half the price of the others

my thule racks are only rated for 70lbs too.. you should be fine. just put a bow and stern strap like Iceman suggested or another strap across the bars.

That makes me feel better
Do you carry a PA on urs?
The yakima for the element are
Rated for 165.

I hauled my pa14 on my scion with just the cheap soft racks which is pretty much nothing for a year no problem
