instructions included in the box or download from their site. Installation is easy. Track is 5" from the rear edge of the roof.

Thanks...I like it. I'm looking for a solution to carry surfboards and bikes.

It clears the shark-fin too!

It's hard to tell....did you mount the rails next to or actually on top of the channels on the roof?

Looks great! Is that a Yakima Steelhead or Copperhead? Do you recommend it? What kind of bike is that? I just got myself an old Cannondale road bike and need to pimp out my Yakima.

it's a steelhead! I used the same rack system on my '98 Rav4 and to the day, no problem with it- so i'll say "well recommended!" I ride road too(Bianchi San Mateo)

here's my Rav4:

I got an INNO rack from the dealer that clamps on above the windows. I keep it off most of the time but it works for light loads if you're scared to drill into your roof like I was.
