Link to Sportback Roof Rack Stuff?
I want to see what Thule systems plug into the sportback roof. The brochures say 'plug in adapters' are in the roof... Or am i mis-interpreting it?
If you go to the thule site and say 'lancer sportback' it says 'no applications'...
Need links please.

Mitsubishi sells the rack and then the attachements for skis/boards/bikes whatever
You can buy just the rack that bolts to the roof from mitsubishi and yakimi sells attachments for it.

No problem, been doing the same research for my personal sportback.
I'm currently trying to find the part # for the little covers that I showed in the photo above.
I didn't put one back on all the way I guess and it flew off the car at some point. It looks REALLY bad without that cover btw.

Sorry for bringing up and old thread but I wanted to show what the OEM rack looks like as I could not get any good pictures from 
.
Motor Trend has a couple of pictures on their site so I thought I'd link it for others to see.

I went with Thule, and they had brackets for every model mitsubishi and they look great. I'll upload pics later......Thule is definetly a great buy. I have used it for my surfboards (as many as 3 so far) and as many as 6 snowboards. Very convienient

^Yep!
Great fit/very solid.
I just need to figure how to make them more quick install/remove (the kayak saddles look ugly) so i just need the racks on the weekends...
I am thinking wing bolts for the attachments to the car vs. the hex key head bolt and nut...
Does anyone else have a better solution? Ugly is okay - because they are temp on the car i.e if the THULE fancy cover no longer fits - i don't care...

Just visit the dealers. Mine down in Huntington beach always hooks me up and let's me put them on the car and try Em out before I buy them. Have the straight rack for surf, and the 3x slanted for snowboards. Dunno about kayaks though

I contribute that to the Thule ski/board racks that are much bulkier (fit more) and that I don't have a fairing with my Thule rack but I did on my Yakima.
Both setups:
Thule on RA Sportback:
Yakima on Evo:
