Racks for Infiniti G35
Determining which frame rack for your Infiniti G35 attaches precisely to your car’s make and model and what additional features are practical can be a tough choice. This guide may help your choice for practicality and function.
What different choices are there for types of car racks?The Infiniti G35 uses several of the following vehicle frame types.
- Boat loader, kayak carriers, and ladder
- Carrier frame and cross bars
- T-Tracks rooftop and universal rooftop
- Fixpoint rooftop and side rails
- Ski, snowboard, and surfboard
- Soft rooftop
One consideration is fitment type with direct replacement or performance/custom as the options. Another factor to take into account is where you plan to place it on your vehicle. Options include front, rear, left or right side, upper or lower part of the car, roof placement, hitch style, and any need you might have for a truck bed type.
How do you determine which frame systems work?Look for the following features on your sedan.
- Rooftops with flush side rails
- Raised side rails
- Rain gutter rooftops
- Track, fixed point, or custom features
There are a number of styles to consider, such as rooftop cargo baskets, base rail systems, cargo boxes, cargo bags, drop-down roof racks, roof bike carriers, trailer hitch, and cargo carriers with hitch attachment options. Straps and tie downs are options for stability and organization.
What tips are there related to hauling or carrying items?- Read all of the instructions before putting anything on your sedan.
- Ask a second person to help you fit and install your cargo frame whenever possible.
- Pay particular attention to the recommended torque settings. Over torqued or under torqued rack might appear stable when they are not. The cargo frame will get damaged or break after only a few uses, and improper torque settings will damage your vehicle.
- Remove racks when youre done using them. The frame is not intended to remain on your car’s rooftop indefinitely. The fittings corrode when exposed to the elements, so applying mechanics grease to the threads make them easier to remove.
- Check your owner’s manual for the maximum weight. Your cargo frame is likely to have a maximum carry weight that is greater than the maximum weight recommended for your car.
- Remember to factor in the extra height when entering tunnels, going under trestles and overpasses with low clearance as well as when pulling in to your garage.
- Secure items properly. Most states require items such as canoes and surfboards to be secured to the front and back of your sedan as well as securely tied to the rooftop cargo carrier.
