    Hey guys - any recommendations on a roof rack system for a shell that has supplied tracks? I generally have a preference for Yakima stuff, just had good luck with their gear.

    Open to a rack that can have a carrier and snowboard rack mounted to it, or just cross rails.

    Stick with Yakima if that's what you prefer. All the top tier systems (Yakima, Thule, Rhino, etc.) are all comparable in price.

    You prefer Yakima, I prefer Thule. Do what works for you or what you can find cheap on CL or marketplace.
    You might just need to find it the brand of tracks on the shell so you can get the correct t-nuts and feet

    I’ve always went w Yakima & no complaints! Between CL & eBay had no trouble finding feet, towers, & bars. Was told by the canopy place I got mine at that the Thule & Yakima tracks are compatible with each others racks

    I've found my thule bars to be quite loud. I'm not sure if yakima round bars are better but aero bars definitely are.
