The CTS-V has plugged mount points at all four doors for a rack mount, but Yakima and Thule do not have mount kits.

Can anyone offer help here? I would like to use my existing Yakima rack on my CTS-V.

thanks.

I don't believe I have ever seen a roof rack on a V.

If you do this post some pics.

Im thinking of having one custom made by me and some friends for my car, trunk space sucks in GTOs lol.

Would it not be the same for a regular cts? If its the same, google found me one

go ahead and add a tow hitch, some leaf springs, a cow bell up front and one of those nutsacks to hang from the hitch out back. Git Er Done.

I did a lot of reasearch of that. Are you looking at it for luggage or bikes? If bikes just get the Saris Bones trunk rack. It is actually really good, if the paint is clean before you put it on there will be no problems.

Makes sense to me. There's nothing unique about the roof of the V.

Bikes. In the area I live the trunk mount would rapidly mess up the paint due to all the dust around.

Good find. Looks like a good option for someone wanting to buy a complete system. It gives me hope that I can just adapt my Yakima with some new custom tower adapter plates.:twisted:
