Recommended Roof Rack for 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan with Naked Roof

Question

Question:

I have just acquired a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan without the factory rails and cross bars and wish to use a wide variety of Thule bicycle and kayak carriers. The vehicle is primarily used for storage at a summer location and I am seeking feet that would allow use of the square Thule bars or at least some shape of cross bars and I can adapt my current Tracker feet. I have purchased products from you in the past and you have been very helpful. Thank you.

If your 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan has a completely naked roof (no factory side rails, crossbars, or factory installed tracks), the only roof rack system available that will fit is the SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B, which uses unique vacuum cups to mount to anywhere on the roof's surface. This round bar system will provide your Caravan with a sturdy roof rack that will work great for the variety of Thule or other brand accessories you are wanting to mount. There is not a product or system available that will allow you to use your existing Tracker Feet on the van.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this roof rack that you can also check out.

I have attached a few links that will take you to our available selection of bike carriers, kayak carriers, and cargo carriers that are compatible with round crossbars that you can look through.
