I gave my 2000 Ford Focus to my daughter so the Y has become my daily driver. Since I am in the midst of a number of home improvement projects, including a studs-out bath redo, I fitted a Yakima rain gutter mount roof rack to my 1950 MGYA and went off to Home Depot and Rafael Lumber. The composite plastic bath was fairly light, but I did stack up 7 sheets of 1/2″ moisture resistant sheetrock for one trip. The Y made the trip with no complaints but the roof rack moaned and groaned a bit under the 300 pounds of rock. I also picked up a 24″x24″ vinyl slider window at Home Depot. As you can see, it pretty much filled the “boot”.
