|   yakima rack on 02 civic coupe | Muaddib1116
May 19, 2002 6:52 PM | | I have an 02 civic coupe and I want to get a yakima viper rack set for it, but the yakima site says that I need an extender for the Q-towers, since the coupe has too little room between bars. I think thats just for more money, if I dont use their extendor, I'll have two feet between the bars to hold the viper racks, is that enough? or do I really need that ugly extender on my beautious car? |

Good luck with the Civic... just got rid of my '93 Civic after 200k miles and got myself a Protege5... now I'm struggling with my own rack qualms. |

May 20, 2002 5:00 AM | | I have a 95 civic ex that i use a Thule rack w/ Yakima trays on and do not have the extender. It never wobbles! I've had 35+ pound bikes up there with out a problem.
Try it w/o the extender and see what your results are, if it wobbles too badly then go buy it. |
| Thanks guys | Muaddib1116
May 20, 2002 5:58 AM | | Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'll try it without the extender and if I have problems I buy one. |
