#13 of 17 Roof racks for 2008 G35xs sedan by zareth Aug 02, 2008 (7:54 pm)
Replying to: sstricker (Jan 11, 2008 8:46 pm) Any followup on how the Yakima racks are holding up a g35 sedan? I unknowingly leased the car and was told by the dealer that racking the car was no problem. Anyone had any kind of roof rack for a while that has performed well?
#14 of 17 Re: Thule rack/feet for G35 sedan? [scottm123] by Jifffer Dec 07, 2008 (4:56 pm)
Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 2:11 pm) Just tried my Thule roof rack (purchased for an Altima 2.5S 2005) and it seems to fit pretty snugly on my Infiniti G35x 2008. As previously mentioned, Thule recommends the same rack for the Altima (05) and the G35 (06). I'm quite sure that Nissan/Infiniti are using pretty much the same sized frame for both the Altima, Maxima and the G35-G37.   A small gap seems to appear between the rubber on the door which connects with the roof but it does not appear overly testing. I would probably not keep the roof rack all on the time - but for a few weekend trips during any season - I'm quite sure this wouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps.
#15 of 17 G35 Yakima Q35 Towers and Clips by jayrodathome Feb 09, 2009 (12:05 pm)
I used the Q towers and the Q35 clips on my 2008 G35x It worked perfectly. It whistled at first but after I put the fairing on it no longer made any noise. I didn't follow the M1 Measurements but I followed the rest of them. If anyone would like I can email you pictures and my measurements. my email is jarrodlillyme.com   I waited and waited for them to make a rack until i found this posting. After reading above i decided to do it and it took me about 2hrs. and $500   This car looks awesome with ski racks! I drive it to the mountain all of the time. Good handling, Fast, and all wheel drive. It's the perfect recreational vehicle now. Replies to this message: surf2602 (Jun 03, 2009 5:06 pm)

#17 of 17 Thule racks installed and working well by lgm Aug 16, 2009 (12:45 pm)
After reading these posts and others on different sites, I went to my local rack shop and asked them to put on some Yakima racks. They deal in both Yakima and Thule, and after some discussion, the installer told me he'd sell me a Yakima rack, but he'd recommend a Thule more for this kind of roof profile. He also said he'd install the Thule, but not the Yakima (and emphasized it was just for this kind of car profile). Something to do with being able to tighten down the rack better for this kind of roofline.   I'm brand agnostic here, so I don't really want to start a debate on the merits of the two, and for simplicity's sake went with the Thule, and had them install it (I've since taken it off and installed it myself).   The nice thing about having them do it is that based on the slope of the roofline, he ended up putting longer clips on the back doors than the front. He had those at the shop, and had I bought the whole setup myself I would have had a sloping rack versus a level one. He also used T-bolts to secure my bike racks on, giving the whole thing a much more aerodynamic look. I've since driven two or three hundred miles with bikes on the roof, on freeways and winding roads, and had no problems. The rack is on as tight as when it was first installed. And the base setup was for the 2006 model - just the longer clips were not included.   I've included pictures of the car which shows the longer clips on the back and shorter ones in front, and the aero look with the t-bolts instead of the regular rack attachments. Can't wait to take the car up to the mountains too.   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com
