Plan on making several trips to sunshine this winter. Very limited space for boards and skis. Photos help.

ok here's a quick primer on roof racks:

the load bars, feet, and carriers are universal

you need to match the load bars to the feet (ie square bars go with a certain model foot,  round "aero" bars go with another model foot)

and then, what makes the whole thing "fit" to a particular car roof

is the "fit kit"

the fit kit includes the metal clips that attach the feet to the door opening as well as the rubber pads that fit under the feet and contour to the roof

i bought mine used so im not sure which fit kit i have but try to find something with a close roof profile

and then for the front fairing, you need the narrowest one they make so that it matches the car width
