JDoodles Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Taking a road trip soon and need to know if anyone has used one of those roof-mounted cargo carriers on their Edge (mine is a 2008) with the panoramic sun roof? I called parts dept. of local dealer and they mentioned that the description calls for roof rails, which I do not have. Any feedback greatly appreciated. Honestly, the Edge looks nice, but can't wait until it comes off lease so I can get something else. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 search the forums, there is a great thread about Yakima towers on an Edge with Vista roof. parts #'s, photos, etc. the OP carries bikes so carrying a cargo carrier should be no issue.

JDoodles Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Bobbyz - in your write up about the Yakima Q Tower set up you use with your Edge you provide 4 measurements. What exactly are they? Where are you measuring from? I have all the parts off of e-bay and am ready to throw it together. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you measuring from? I have all the parts off of e-bay and am ready to throw it together. Thanks! These are the foot pad/Q clips/bar position measurements relative to the edges of the roof - front back left right. The easiest answer is to go to Yakima's website at www.yakima.com and go to the Fit My Car link. - Enter your make/year/model information. - Select: On top of roof > Naked > Build your own [Next] > Let's Go - At the bottom of the Base System screen, select Fit Notes + Measurements. Here you will see the measurement reference points and recommended distances. These instructions are also included in the boxes for the foot pads and the Q-clips. Happy motoring and Happy Summer !! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
