Roof Rack

**markus** · November 2nd, 2004 01:37 PM

Hi. Hope someone can help.

I'm looking for roof rails (roof rack) for my 1997 Civic. Thule offers a model but it is too expensive! Would anyone know less expensive alternatives? May local ba na nagfa-fabricate nito? Where can I get one?

Thank you.

You can look around in Banawe... but for me, Thule still offers the best roof racks and roof carriers... worth the added PPP IMO.

bakit mo lalagyan ng roof rack ung kotse mo? hindi ba masagwa tignan?

BTW, if you get a rack, try to get the closed ones (roof carriers) as this is quite more suitable in our conditions (rains, thieves, etc.) when you travel out of town. Plus you dont have to worry about anything blowing off.

The rails are for a bike rack.

Thanks.

cousin had it done in evang, mga 2.5 thou or lower if you're lucky... that's with the frame-rails for the bike, too... have it painted matte black, because the plastic used for cheap ones is kinda shiny.

So far, he has had no problems with it... holds up pretty well under his bike.

Thank you Niky, maybe you can ask san sa Evangelsta nya pinagawa? Gutter mounted ba yung pinagawa nya?

Pissword, if I had the funds, I'd buy a pick up! :-) The car may not look too good without the bike but, I need to carry the bike long distances regularly, beats carrying it in the back seat and soiling the interior.

My neighbor's BF has one on his Civic (Thule bike rack). NA-weweirdan lang ako as he doesnt remove it even when its not in use.
