Bike Roof Rack that Works
Bought two 1up roof racks for my car. Really like how it looks. Slim and black. It holds very tight and easy to put the bikes on and off. I put two small silicone dots so the metal does not vibrate (no noise).
i only have one installed because I’m going to the track on Monday and need to remove roof rack.
this is the best bike roof rack I could find.

Looks nice. How is the wind noise? Any reason you did not go with the flush mounts (T-slot)?
I have their bumper hitch version on another car and its great. However,I went with the RockyMounts Brassknuckle on the 911 and it is just bulky and loud. Mistake.

I found these Rocky Mounts as the most low profile and quietest. Also they are available in tons of colors and relatively inexpensive, but you do have to take off the front wheel which I prefer. I feel that it's more aero and stable.

After adding the silicone dots I don't hear a thing. All the other roof racks had large arms. This folds completely flat. I didn't want to remove tire and mount with fork.

This looks great. I didn't want to remove the front tires because I didn't want to set in the back sit. Mount bike tires are larger and more dirt. I also didn't want to take drop the forks on the roof. My road bike is super light and would be easier to get in, my mount bike has the through axle. Much harder to hold bike and get the through axle through. I think they are great solution. But if you are looking for a tray system, light, sleek and does not touch the frame, the 1Up works great.

I use the sea sucker. It works great even with glass sunroofs.

Yah I mountain bike too! I use Mavic Wheel bags to keep dirt out of the car and I have a thru axle adapter, so it's not much an issue for,
Something similar to this.

I went with the flush mount (not exactly flush), it mounts to a bracket. Works well with T-slot on the Porsche bars. You do have to cut the rubber T-Trac cover if that bothers you. The low profile hardware will probably work the best if you don’t want to do the flush mount option.

Another fan of the Seasucker mounts. No crossbars to mount and i can have it on and off in 10 mins. Once you get over the paranoia of it coming loose, it's awesome.

I would definitely go with the sea sucker if I was transporting mostly road bikes with standard fork mounts. However, in the new age of thru axles, boost spacing, blah blah....I cant keep up with all the fork adapters for mine and friends bikes. Need something that mounts the whole bike so I don’t have to think about it.

This thread highlights the only buyer's remorse I have with buying a cabriolet. I would love to take my 911 for some of my mountain bike rides, but instead I'm "stuck" in my V10 Touareg for those trips. Too bad my wife doesn't recognize this as justification to add a 911 coupe (maybe an older one in Safari form?) to the fleet.
