Anyone have a roof rack system on a Honda Element?

[BrokeLoser]

I'm wondering what to do and looking for ideas.
I'm hauling two Stealth 14's

Thanks!

I had a 2" receiver hitch installed as well

Be careful loading your yak. The metal along the roof line at the top of the Rear hatch dents easily. I put a nice crease in my E loading my revo.

What rack system are you using?

some of thule's saddles work with factory bars....you can go with yakima too but you will need to buy mighty mounts( adaptors). Or if you want you can get new bars thule are called crossroads yakima are called rail grabbers

I flip my revo upside down and use the factory ones. However-------I live 5 minutes from the launch. If your gonna haul from anywhere farther than that invest in a rack. The factory racks have a low weight rating.
