Roof Rack that Fits 2014 Subaru BRZ
Question:
I have a 2014 Subaru Brz. Im looking at buying a roof rack to carry a kayak. I prefer not to drill, but from my understanding the other companies discontinued their racks which didnt require drilling. I see you guys have the rhino rack option. To install the system, do you need a special tool to put the rivets in like rack outfitters show on just a aluminum rivet gun be fine? Also, how does the roof trim stay in place since you would have to cut it and the ends are where it clips to the car.

We have a great roof rack option for your 2014 Subaru BRZ but it does require some drilling of the roof ditch to install rivets with the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRDM01, # RRRLKVA, and # DK290. You will need a drill and a drill stop is recommended so you don't drill too far. The channel cover is held back in with the roof rack feet installed. There are plastic caps that can be used to hold the channel in when not in use that are included.
With that installed you could use a kayak carrier like the Kuat part # C2R1B and you'd be set.
