No clamps with mine...just the crossbars and a tool to remove them, if nec. The bars were pretty simple to install, according to my service rep. There are predetermined spots on the rails where they have to go...no fore-aft adjustments are possible.

accessories on my 2007 by bgadlage

HI all,
 
I just bought a 2007 5 passenger Limited with Nav/Back up screen.
I will be returning to the dealer to install the auto dimming mirror/compass, splash guards and cargo tray.
 
What other accessories do you all like that maybe I should consider.
 
Considering the cargo cover but am concerned about quality and will it mess up the back seats when reclined or folded?
 
Is the light for back section helpful?
 
Does anyone have the bumper corner molding or the rear bumper cover?
 
Thank you
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
 
I have only had it for 2 weeks and love this car.
 
I am in Central IL and have NEVER seen one on the highway as of yet.
 
I saw it as the Feb Chicago auto show and really liked it .
DO they not sell many?
All who have seen it really likes it and can't figure out why they have never heard/seen them.
 
I also got a great deal on the price .
Quite a bit under invoice and only a little off the Acura that I traded in.
 
OH WELL, our luck

The Puddle Lights are very cool.
It's worth a couple hundred just for the 'wow' factor.
For me, the cargo tray would just get in the way, but I'd definately use the bumper cover, as I strap things to the roof rack a lot and it's where you stand.
 
chrome wheels and the chrome mesh grill???
 
other than that, the 'beca is a very well equipped vehicle.

Belva- I got the cargo tray too, I think without it the back "carpet" would get stained too quickly. I like the idea that I can take the tray out and hose it down when needed. Mine came equipped with the puddle lights, which I thought were a waste of money until I got the car home. They're very cool, my daughter calls it the "rock star car" now. I couldn't appreciate them at the dealer in the daylight but at night they're really bright and also stay on for a few seconds after the doors are closed. The car looks like it's going to blast off or something. I don't have the bumper cover but will probably add that.
I live in Orange County Ca, where it seems EVERYONE drives a new car, and I've never seen one of these on the road either. Mine is getting lots of attention though. I guess we're trend-setters

I have a 5 passenger and did get the cargo cover, which is great and heavy duty, easy to clean. Also have the rubber floor mats, which are also heavy duty and easy to clean. I recently went in vacation to the beaches of Marthas Vinyard, and sand etc was easy to remove. Take them out and wash them down. The cover is not a problem with the seats. I also purchased the cargo carrier for the roof. It is like a metal basket with a mesh cover. It was great to carry beach chairs and boogie boards etc. It came in very handy, and was easy to install/un-install. I have the bumper cover which I would recomend as well.
And, you gotta love the "puddle lights".
I saw 4 Tibecas on Marthas Vineyard and a few in Upstate NY.
 
Enjoy

Backup sensors added by kmartin

I had the BU sensors installed today. They do stick out a bit from the black plastic bumper, as the bumper is angled slightly. They seem fairly sensitive, but I haven't had a chance to test them much. There are three volume settings for the beeper, which is installed in the right rear cargo compartment, near the woofer. The quietest setting is virtually inaudible, and the upper two settings sound almost identical in volume (one is a slightly different pitch, but not much louder). The dealer initially charged me $300 labor (3+ hours' work), but I showed them an email one of their sales staff had emailed me earlier in the summer for $142.50 (1.5 hours), and they changed the amount. Good thing I remembered to print that out and take it with me at the last minute
 
I'll play with these some and report back...

Back up Camera by occking

Pep Boys has a color, wireless back up camera that fits on the license plate for $120. Haven't bought one yet cause the screen takes up quite a bit of space with the holder, unless I found another spot on the dash to install it. You need to attach both the camera and the screen separately to power and I am not sure if this is something I want to do. Anyone else out there tried one of these?
 
I wish there was a way of incorporating the nav screen to buy something that would work with it.

Let us know where you decide to install the screen. I couldn't find room to install a Sirius Sportster Radio so I went with a eBay gooseneck mount.

how about using Velco and velco the screen on top of the passenger airbag status light? That seems to be quite useless to me.. If not, the visor should work and there is power there too...
