Any recommendations on roof racks?  The wife wants to carry her inflatable SUP (only 14kg).  Quite a few cheap options on eBay, but not sure of the quality.

Because off the way they mount, my advice is to stick with a known brand.  Ii have ROLA but they're not cheap.
Go have a talk to Supercheap Autos.  They have a brand, I think Prorack, maybe out of NZ which are pretty good. Sometimes they have 20% off sales..

Managed to find 4 of these - Vortex RSS Black 2 Bar Roof Rack | Rhino-Rack - new for $300 delivered on eBay.  Best looking racks I could find I reckon.

Look good.
Rhino used to be a bit bulkier (and more wind noise). They seem to have copied the ROLA layout which is fine.
The only thing is, they look like they're designed for the tracks on a FD wagon. The Hatch just has 4 tiny little plastic covers in the roof where the pads attach with a screw. Are you sure they're right for your car?

Yeah. I didn't go that far. I stopped at the pic plus their comment that the track wasn't included.
