Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Impala
Question:
I have a 2011 Chevy Impala with a sun roof, with no existing rails and was wondering about the roof rack systems from Yakima and Thule. I want to carry my SUP, 11.6 length. I plan to put it in its cover bag.

Expert Reply:
For a roof rack for your 2011 Chevy Impala with a naked roof the Rhino Rack Square Bar Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK187 would be a great option and also has a great price.
Then for a SUP carrier the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier part # LR54FR would be a great option that can carry up to 2 boards. I wouldn't recommend leaving the board in it's bag though as it could whip around and damage itself or the board.
