i'm looking for something that will fit the CL and wont look out of place since its two door... anyone has ever seen a CL with roof rack ? it might look cool but i just need to carry two bikes and skies or snowboard for winter time... not sure if they offer a magnetic one anymore...

please help

prefered thule or yakima could be used

 

i found something but not sure if i like it

 

i was in the exact same predicament and i opted for the trailer hitch. it's much cleaner and it's really hidden to be honest i was amazed how far it sticks back there you don't even notice it. and it makes loading/unloading bike sooo easy.

it was a very good decision imho. and i installed it myself.. for 150$ all in.

i was suck a hater of the hitchs but the more i thought about it the more it made sense

 

Unfortunately I think thats the only style we can get. It would be nice if we had the option of mounting the rack directly onto the roof rails and not the door frame.

 

Same here.. damn bike hitch rack was more expensive than the hitch

 

i got mine for 280 for both... 150 for hitch and 100 plus tax on the bike rack... a good one thank you end of yr sale

 

well i have a thule but yakima is probably a better fit since its a japanese manufacture . If you opt for the thule you'll need a short roof adapter. part number thule 477 i believe. the cl in the pic has it ( the rail bars ) . not sure if yakima requires one but its an extra 100 bones if u do need it. hope this helps.

 

The Yakima doesn't require the stretch kit unless you're mounting longer or heavier equipment. I use the Viper carriers (mounts to forks) and it is relatively stable, but if I was using a bike carrier that required the front tire to stay on, I would want the stretch kit.

 

doesnt look bad...
