Default WTB Roof Racks for Road Bike on 997

I need roof Racks for my road bike for 997. I am tired of having to pull my truck out of storage just to travel with my bike. Any help would be awesome.

Please call, text or email. I missed the last guy.

I spent weeks trying to win a set second hand. Finally ordered from sun coast for new oem. Just giving you a heads up. These things sell fast when they come up and generally in the $400-500 range.

Yep. I missed the last guy bc I did not check back quick enough. Thank you for the heads up. Did you attach a bike to the roof rack? If so, what did you use to attach your bike?

I haven't yet, haven't had time to pull it out of the box. I won't use it for bikes, but will use it for snowboards, snowboards, cargo carrier. Everything I've read and seen says the standard thule attachments work perfectly.

That is super cool. I will seach sea sucker.

Two Questions:

Have you had any experience with them? Will they come off prematurely?

Are you able to fit the front wheel in the back seat?

Lowpue - I Am very interested in the OEM roof rails. If you would send pictures to my email or text below that would be great. I am close to buying a non oem roof racks but I think the oem look so much better.
