Roof Rack Options For 2015 Toyota Corolla With Naked Roof
Question:
2015 Toyota Corolla Sport is the car I have and I wanted a roof rack to transport the metal frame of my inflatable pontoon and/or a storage compartment for road trips. Should I go permanent or removable, and what setup wood you recommend? Thank you for your help!

Expert Reply:
The easiest and cheapest roof rack for your 2015 Toyota Corolla would be to use a removable temporary roof rack. I would look into the Yakima EasyTop Universal Fit Roof Rack - Padded # Y07418 which is a pad that simply straps onto your roof; it has a weight capacity of 80lbs. Another removable option is the Malone HandiRack Universal Fit Roof Rack # MPG452. This Malone roof rack is inflatable which may be more troublesome and take longer to setup, but it does have a higher weight capacity at 180lbs.
I would opt for the removable option due to cost and ease of use, but if you wanted to look into permanent roof racks then I suggest the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Square Crossbars - Steel - 50" Long # SR1010. This is still fairly simple to install or remove from your roof, but it is more permanent than the padded options mentioned previously. This simply attaches to the door jam on your Corolla and provides a 50" long square bar. The weight capacity for this system is 130lbs. Make sure you never exceed the weight capacity of your roof which should be found in your owner's manual. I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
