"...could the top be
opened with the canoe on?"
LOL...Yeah, just open the back hatch
slowly...especially when driving that way. Have you experimented =
with
raising the roof while it's holding that kind of weight? I can't =
count how
many times I read that to make sure I understood what you are
asking.

Subject: roof rack for 84 =
Westie
Found a couple of articles =
about roof
racks for Westies.
One mentioned that Thule recommends no more than =
2 bikes
mounted to a roof rack with the artificial rain gutters drilled into =
the
top. It goes on to mention that some people have had no problems =
with
more than that mounted. My Q: Anyone out there carried a canoe =
(~80lb)
on this type of system (Thule with artificial rain gutters drilled =
into the
camper top)? How did it go and could the top be opened with =
the
canoe on? Any other suggestions for carrying a canoe =
and
maintaining functionality of the pop-top?
Thanks for any
info.
