Roof Rack
I had heard bad things about the aftermarket roof racks for the GT (bending the roof when tightened down), so even though I've got a Yakima and Thule kicking around from older cars, I bought the BMW rack. An interesting observation is that the plastic covers for the feet to not meet the roof when installed and tightened up - the metal feet that fit into the well prevent that. So, the only contact with the body is in the well. Probably works well, but looks a little weird and will allow moisture in there. I'd guess it drains out, since that little flip-up cover isn't water tight.
Anyway, while my folding trike will fit in the back, I've decided the risk of chain oil, road debris, etc., are better relegated to the roof rack. Glad I'm tall, it's a long ways up there!
