So, I'm going to drill some holes in my roof... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've now got all the parts for the rack. Now I just need some time to install it. Probably this weekend. Since I'm using landing pads rather than tracks I'm probably going to have the front crossbar be a little wider than the rear to get the loads closer to the edge of the roof. I'm not worried about hitting anything up front when I drill the holes but I'm curious what kind of distance from the rear of the car I'm going to need to clear the rear roof brace.

I'm also thinking I'm going to try to get a set of Hullyrollers to make loading the boat onto the car by myself easier.
