Recommended Roof Rack Options For 2009 Toyota Matrix With Fixed Mounting Points
Question:
I am planning on purchasing the rhino-rack 2500 to attach to my 2009 Toyota matrix fixed mounting points. The website defaults to recommending the part DK185 Custom DK Fit Kit for a naked roof installation. Do I need to buy a kit for the fixed roof installation? THANK YOU.

For your 2009 Toyota Matrix the only style roof rack system is the clamp on style rather than bolting to fixed mounting points. I would recommned the Inno roof rack system with square bars that clamp securely to your roof. The # INB107 crossbars are mated with the # INSUT feet and # INK244 fit kit, and install easily. The square bars are heavy duty and work with most accessories.
You might also consider the Inno # INXB108-2, with # INXS250 feet, and # INK244 fit kit for a roof rack with low profile, and more aerodynamic Aero crossbars that have T-channels for accessories. Includes locks and keys.
