Just picked up an 1991 Toyota Previa Van, but can't find any roof racks that can be installed on this van for an oc-1 canoe. Go Bananas didn't have an idea, Thule or Yakima also had no idea. Just trying to find out if anyone out there does or did custom roof rack installation on this type of van. Mahalo for input

check these out. i used them on my chevy astro and they worked perfectly.only drawback is that you have to drill through your roof. if you do it right they never rust and never leak. mine worked flawlessly. plus they enable you to take your racks on and off so you won't have clearance issues when not using them. the low profile attached base stays on at all times and even has a little snap in place cover if you don't use them for a long time.

Yes, for some vehicles, this is the only possible solution...for us homos w/ soccer mom vans.

I think jc9's solution is pretty sweet. Thule has something like that also...I've researched it quite a bit, and some kind of drilling is almost necessary to adequately rack up these vans. And yes...proph8 was struck down, painteur, but I require a little more courting than that, my friend!
