Dangerous w/out the roofrack?
Hi guys,
I was wondering, if it was dangerous to drive without the roofracks on the protege5 *without the caps/plugs to replace the holes* since i never got them from the dealer. I would eventualy get it, but meanwhile..is it bad or anything to drive without them plugs? |
Should be alrite.
|
no
but it will probably be a bit more noisy than you would like. |

ooHHh k
thanks How many of you like the roofrack on or off anyways? To me, it seems as if the protege5 without the roofrack is like a normal car...it seems like its missing something without it. Anyone agree? |
I like it better with the rack on.
|
Yeah, but majority of the people i ask likes it without.
The very first time i looked at the p5, i was like omg thats a sweet car, only if you can take off the roofrack. But if you dig real deep, without the roofrack, its just another ordinary car. Nothing to give its meaning. |

I took my roof rack off because it made lots of wind noise with the power sliding moonroof open. :D
Still, it looks good either way. |
My car was on the showroom floor with no roof rack, so i told them to just leave it off cuz the mileage is probably a little better and the car looks a little cleaner :P

You could put a bit of clear hockey tape over the holes to keep out moisture and debris. I use that stuff on my bike all the time when travelling it holds good and comes off good. If the sun bakes it on a bit, a little wd-40 will clean it right up.

Oh man , good idea.
Thanks alot razor |
I'll have to say, it is noisy with the roof open, but the car looks so much better with the roof rack left on. It definately gives the car a cool quality. Without the rack, it's kind of plain.

By the way, any P5 owner here ever really put the rack in use? What did you carry with it?
