adapter kit for car rack on 2002 Toyota Celica

[johnster]

I was told that if I want to put a car rack on my 2002 Toyota Celica 2 door i need to get some kind of adapter kit to work with the car rack. Does anyone know what this adapter is? I want to probably attach a luggage box to the car rack for carrying some suitcases and small boxes normally.

With Thule Racks you will need the Thule 477 Short Roof Adapter Kit, which indeed works in combination with the Thule 400XT Aero base rack system. The Short Roof Adaptor Kit quickly installs and allows the two load bars, that are part of the Thule 400XT Aero base rack system, to be distanced further apart from each other, allowing for a stable platform for safely carrying any items on the car rack including a cargo/luggage gear carrier. Now about this Thule 400XT Aero car rack system...no matter what gear you plan to carry on your roof, you will need a multi-purpose roof rack base system. The Thule 400XT Aero system includes four 400XT Aero feet, four FitKit 2093 Clips (specific to your 2002 Toyota Celica) and two square load bars. The 50" length square load bars are the recommended size for your Toyota Celica car top. You'll then be able to mount the cargo / luggage carrier to these base rack load bars.

I highly recommend going with the Thule 602 Ascent 1100 cargo box. Mounts directly to the Thule 400XT Aero base rack bars. The 602 model is ideal for carrying miscellaneous cargo & suitcases / luggage gear etc. Also the perfect length to match your vehicle's short roof line with not much of the luggage box extending over your roof top.
