Roof Rack and Kayak Carrying Option for 2009 Nissan Altima
Question:
I have a 2009 Nissan Altima Sedan with no roof rack bars and has a sunroof. I want to be able to carry 2 kayaks small closed ones on the top. What exactly do I need? Thanks!

Inno offers an excellent, reasonably priced roof rack option for your Altima.
For the square bar roof rack, you'd need the 46 inch long crossbars, part # INB117, the # INSUT roof rack feet and the # INK116 vehicle specific clamp kit.
For a kayak carrier, use the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. It's a J-style but can also carry two kayaks at once. You'll need a second set of tie-downs for the other boat, part # Y04031.
