  • The cheapest, easiest, roof rack I could make was a $23 fence from the hardware store. But you can DIY all kinds of things into a roof rack with the right size couplings.
    For my 2014 CRV
    Couplings: amzn.to/3GxPGsj

    I’ve been RACKing my brain for an easy way to mount a flexible solar panel to my roof. This is perfect! Thanks for the idea.

      I’ll probably make a more robust version but it’s been pretty great so far.

    Hello, how to cover the bolt holes in the roof of the car to prevent water from entering? Greetings.

    My son used this video and did this to my SUV while I was at work.
    Problem is it also has a Panama sunroof that now won't open. Lol 😂

    Your design ideas are addictive 😂- thank you. Plz stick around - I'm converting my Opel Meriva to a camper monster, and will need your help for the roof rack: 2 solar panels, tyre and a huge storage box (forgot to mention the vent system 🙃). Blessings.

      Sound cool Nadia! I don't see too many Opels in The States. Where are you building this camper monster?

      @@MattTheDesigner Hi hi there- i'm in Europe. I knew your design ideas have "bad" influence on me :oD . The problematic spare tyre will become part of my interior as puff (sitting chair or even pillow ;o)) and I'll use the space for my bed/wc/shower/power bench structure in the trunk ... On the roof: 2 cases with 2 flex solar pannels. The roof rack will be light structure to carry the load. Let's design together - it's very interesting project. Be safe and don't stop designing.

      An age old trick with a new spin! Haha. Your Fiesta was an inspiration for sure. Was yours a dog cage or something?
