Default Re: Results from roof rack install

Thanks for the great feedback John.

This should help many folks assess whether a roof rack is for them or not.

However we choose to look at it, the HCH-2 is very sensitive to anything that adds drag to its areo-dynamic profile.

It would also be interesting to quantify the amount of drag a rear mounted hitch solution would impose. Theoretically it should be lower but it would still be fun to quantify how much less drag compared to a roof rack.

Would you be able to post some pictures of your setup?

Cheers;
