Expert Reply:
Yes! The SportRack roof rack # SR1003 and short roof adapter # SR1116 will fit on your 1997 Geo Metro hatchback (also known as a 3 door).
It's a removable roof rack that easily clamps to your naked roof on your 1997 Geo Metro. The weight capacity is 130 pounds but always be sure to check your Owners Manual for the maximum carrying capacity. You will always go with the lowest rating.
The adapter # SR1116 allows you to mount the Sport Rack # SR1003 allows you to increase the distance between crossbars for proper spacing, which provides better weight distribution for mounted cargo and equipment. 2 strong ropes are also included. The galvanized steel hooks anchor the bow and stern of kayak to your 1997 Geo Metro.
Since you will be carrying a kayak, I recommend the SportRack kayak carrier # SR5511. It has padded cradles that install in seconds. Ropes and straps are included for complete kayak stability.
I have included a couple FAQ's and video reviews for you as well.
