hmmm...it won't fit if you put the back seats and the passenger side seat all down and forward?

OH I KNOW!

open the sun roof and put it through that and have it sit in the passenger seat!

or you could fold the seat flat and put it through the sunroof coming from the back...

There are racks you can get from the dealership. Plus the seats in back drop down and the front one pushes in pretty far. I fit about 90% of my life into my tC in one load when I moved last. You'd be surprised how much crap you can squeeze into a tC if you're good at tetris. :D

I am a surfer who bought a Scion tC. My 4 door Honda Civic before had hard racks on. Ever since I bought the tC, I just take another car to go surf instead. I don't recommend putting racks on top of your tC as: 1. It makes your car dirty very quick, and 2. You will most likely damage something. If you do decide to take the tC to go surf however, I'd recommend to fold down the seats and slide your board in.

another island girl,
How ya doing? Lahaina is WAY to hot for my tastes.

But in regards to the racks, they make em, Hard racks.
Like you'd see for most other cars. What ever you do dont cheap out though and get the soft foam rollers that strap around the car. Get some proper racks.
Dealer should be able to help you with that. There is one in town, go check em out!
