Roof Rack for hardtop vert

Mgineer · Fri, Feb-12-2010, 02:13:42 PM

I'm thinking about picking up a hardtop for my vert. Does the hardtop have the channels for the roof rack feet (like the coupe)?
Only relevant link I found was the one below but doesn't mention the convertible.

Yes, they do have mounting points for the roof rack... I'll be picking up one this Spring for my mountain and road bikes

E39, E46 Sedan, coupe and vert share the same mount points.

It's ironic that I can carry more bikes with a vert than my friend can w/ his 4 door sedan (TSX)

Granted, he can just buy a cheapy trunk rack off craigslist for $50 and shut me up... I would've gone that route, but I didn't want to crack the CF trunk.

A nice bonus is that the roof rack sorta feels like a cop deterrent since it sort of tames the car's look down, and makes you look more "fun" than "badass"
