Bike on roof rack

Post by Janda »

Please forgive a dumb question:what else do I need to carry my bikes, if I get the 2010 Vibe with roof rack with center rails that I'm looking at? Is there an OEM accessory needed? Aftermarket accessory? Or am I all set?John

You should be able to get a bike tray from Thule or Yakima that will attach to the stock bars.

If you have the factory roof rails, you can use Thule cross bars either from GM Accessories or from Thule directly. I run with a road bike and mountain bike facing aft using Thule velo vise. I have them facing aft to avoid conflict when raising the rear hatch. Both bikes ride well with just a bit of wind noise.
