Celica Forums General Discussion General How much weight can the Celica roof hold?

hey im looking at getting another boat, a canoe this time, and it weights 85 pounds (dry) and i might get a roof rack, if the celica can facilitate it, and if it can take the weight, and the drag forces created...

anyone seen a canoe carried on the celica? or seen heavy stuff carried on the roof, with or without a roof rack??

Don't whore your car like that!!!!

never saw a celi carrying a boat before...

ive never seen it; it's really up to you if you wanna give it a try.

do it... and then take a pic

We want pix if this happens

Oh yeah! I wanna see that!!!

where you fuckin on your roof?

it should work...give it a shot and take it for a spin and see how it goes

i would love to see a picture

^^ haha...i would too

I would talk to the dealer or a rack manufacter before trying this. If the rack weight is resting on a panel only rather than a support beam you are going to bend the panel. Yakima has a good rep for helping consumers mounting racks on difficult vehicles... Good luck

hahaha i wanna see pix

thats gonna look goofy as hell

do you really wanna chance it??

LOl sorry your not getting much help on this tipic.. but my .02 is I would rather carry a Canoo then strap it to my celi

I think your best bet is to go to Enterprise Rent-A-Car, rent a car, buy your canoe or whatever and do your thing with the rental.

if it was me, i wouldnt do it. i dont want any thing to happen to the canoe and especially my car.

Uhm.. get a truck.


I think the only thing I'd stick on my roof would be snowboards.

yeah, dont take the chance. just go rent an SUV.

dealer sells roof racks for the celica. max wieght i beleieve is 200 pnds. then again its being supported on the sides of the roof and not the actuall roof itself. ive seen a few celicas here in san diego hauling around two canoes on there roofs and a few bikes so its possible.

also to add ever seen a flipped over celica the roof can technically support its own weight

Never seen a flipped Celi. Anyone who could roll a car like ours needs to be banned from using anything with wheels.
