Roof Rack
Hey squad,
Looking to add a roof rack to my 2015 FRS. Anybody know the best way to do this or what options I have. I’d like to add a SUP or snowboard to the roof. Anybody done this here that want to help? Thanks! |

Here's one. https://www.etrailer.com/roof-2015_Scion_FR-S.htm
But you need to rivet the base the the roof. (Drill holes). |

The official response from a few mfr's is that this car isn't roof rack friendly and it's not recommended

What the heck is a "SUP"? Won't a snowboard fit inside if you lower the seat? If not, I suggest you just let it stick out the back and tie the lid down on it. OR just take your other car or your friends car. |

I would recommend Seasucker, expensive but works on any car and doesn't require drilling holes. |

Personally, I'm going the inflatable route on a SUP to save space (condo living..) and prevent the need for roof racks. |

Interesting. I'm just curious if their suction cups are very reliable. |
