hey guys i was able to get a "VGT" emblem in banawe (forgot the name of the store, pero importer sya ng korean parts sa kabighayan cor banawe)... orig hyundai-kia mobis emblem (but mostly for grand starex)... best 450 bucks i spent... check it out...





It will do justice to your Carens... this is the view non-vgt diesel vehicles will see most of the time when they are passed/overtaken... hehehe.... (joke lang ha)... dami kasi di nakakaalam na VGT ang mga rides natin... plus pogi points... magpalagay din kayo para di ako nag-iisa...

Hello! thanks for the observation. I appreciate it. I did ponder the potential problems a set-up like this would cause and this delayed my purchase for about 4 months. After examining the Thule set and the car door frames, I believed the problems would be minimal because: 1. The Thule set was all rubber lined and coated in the places where it touched the vehicle; 2. The crimping of the rubber door moldings was very small and so the water seepage is small; 3. The molding itself consisted of two lines with a channel in between. The water that seeped through the first line would be caught by the channel and flow down and out with no possibility of penetrating the second rubber line; 4. The set up is specific for the Carens and not an adaptation from another vehicle; 5. Only the AT version have rails and I prefer MT; and 6. I really need a basket to carry stuff. (lol)

May I know what kind of paint the crosswind had? (acrylic, polyurethane,etc...) It may explain why it rusted. thanks again for the input.

Hi, just got my PC back. The crosswind was stock paint, don't know what type of paint though. I remember driving in rain sa NLEX and mag-seep in water sa rear right door.(w/c was where the rust set in). I guess the thule footrack wasnt really designed for the crosswind, it being an asian model unlike the carens being a global model/brand. You can't find crosswind sa thule website.
Anyway bro, happy driving! Just check your doors once in a while.

Check mo tire pressure mo baka matigas masyado. Nung nakuha namin carens maklampag din. Pag check namin tire pressure nasa 42psi. I keep it at 33 now.
