Hi, Does anyone have a setup where you have both the roof racks and window visors installed? the reason i ask is because i purchased some racks to transport some kayaks this summer but i had a problem with mounting rhino racks to the roof because the visors are in the way. Its such a pain to remove the visors. Does any one know any alternatives???

There is nothing you can do, aside from drilling permenant fixtures into your roof.
That or remove the weather shields.... or of course, sell up and buy a wagon which has roof rails that racks locate on.

I guess you could modify the shields, but that would render them somewhat useless.

Sorry boss.
