    oem roof rack question

    For the people that have the oem (yakima) roof rack, is there a yakima or thule wind deflector that works well with our setup? I've not seen many people post pictures having the wind deflector so I don't know there's a viable option out there or not. Thanks!

    If you can find the horizontal mount the yakima or thule deflector can both be attached. I looked into it before getting the sunroof.

    thanks for responding John, but what's the horizontal mount? was that an isuzu accessory, something sold by yakima/thule?

    There were two styles of mounts for the racks - horizontal and vertical - both could be ordered through Isuzu or bought from retailers as "wingrider" mounts. The names came from the bolt position (basically one had bolt holes horizontal to the bar while the other had them vertical - I don't remember if they were named from the bolt position or the item mounted position). I don't think they're available any longer but you might be able to find a set on eBay.
