Hey what brand and model of roof rack is that? I just bought my SLS sport 3 days ago and need to get the rack added in the next few weeks. I've done some online searching but would rather go with something another owner recommends

thanks

ab_zashi,

I have Suzuki's roof rack installed on my Kizashi. I definitely recommend it--it's very well built, looks great, and its cross bars even have an airplane design to it that allows it to cut through the air more efficiently.

Thanks for the quick reply! I also see now you have it listed under your name...Suzuki roof rack...

Did you go through your dealer? I'm in Philly so relatively close to York...

ab_zashi,

Yeah, I got mine when I got my Kizashi. When it came time to make the deal, I told the salesman that if they include the wind visor, roof rack, and two sets of bicycle mounts (for the roof rack) from their accessory brochure, that we've got a deal. However, even though I got them as a Suzuki accessory, I figured they were manufactured by a different company for Suzuki. So, after doing a little research, the name of the company is Whisbar. You can find their url here: www.whispbar.com/cars/suzuki/kizashi/2011

You can click the "How to Buy" link and decide what would be best for you, or you can just contact your nearest dealer (I'm not sure which method would be more cost effective).

Hope this helps,

ab_zashi,

I posted this up in the "DIY" section, it might be worth a look as well:

AFREaKA.Man,

Since you do have this car and cross bars installed, I think you would be the perfect person to answer my questions.

I am thinking about installing the cross bars so I can mount snowboard racks on it in winter, but in summers, I would like to take that off. Could you please let me know if this is easy to do?
And what are the locks for the cross bars for?

Thanks.

Pictures of how the crossbars attach to the car. The bracket and attachment points do rust, which I found out the hard way, so if you remove these in the spring be sure to take some preventative measures.

Nice Ride. I'm yet to customize my front bumper.
