Have been out shopping for cars the past few weekends. I intend to buy a roof rack at some point down the road.
I’m noticing that some cars come with a fixed mounting point…basically a threaded insert below the rubber gutter, over the door frames.
Are these any better than a door mount? Not going to base a car purchase off whether or not it has a factory-installed mounting point, but it’s a consideration…definitely looks cleaner.
As a side note, roof rack systems (mounts, bars, trays, 2 bike) are +/- $500 ?!
Thoughts?
Thx
