Hi Everyone

After about a year of being an admirer, I'm hoping to buy an iQ2 in March. But I would want to fit a Roof Rack occasionally for the odd holiday trip as the iQ would be my only car. I notice a well known Swedish company makes one for the iQ, but I'm wondering whether the Toyota warranty would be invalidated if installed? Has anyone noticed anything in the owners manual about roof loads? Can't seem to get an answer from a local dealer - any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Nic

Hello Nic,

sorry to tell you but there is NO way for a Roof Rack!

No hat, no cap, no towing for the iQ.

:crybaby:ZERO LOAD on the top!

Thanks LA-LA. Thats a real shame - I might have to stick with the trusty Aygo. Did you get this info from the owners manual or from your local Toyota rep?

Lala, I'll try to explain better :

on french registration papers, there is no mention of limitation of permissible roof load.

it's not written limitationor permissible... and nothing after (equal 0 as you say)

it is not written at all.

Thule, they're like the carrying solutions equivalent of the Swiss Army Knife, and they seem to have a solution for everything. This reminds me of what Peter (Sweet Dentist) has done with his iQ, well, lets say 'one' of the things.

I want to know where he got it from

The iQ in the video clearly has no Roof Rack fitted or Cross Bars,

It does have 'Roof Rails' fitted tho,

which clearly anyone else could do if they made the choice to.

Bolt securely through the roof, use spreader plates and seal the holes/mounts.

Some Fabrication to mount Roof Rails safely, then what you fit to those be it cross bars, a tray or a box is up to you.

(no weight limit given for the roof carrying so up to the Driver how he/she considers/deals with the Insurance or 'Use And Construction'

for the vehicle.)
