I have seen a few Toyota Matrix's with molded on roof racks, just like the Vibes. Does anyone know where you can get these? I have the yakima rack that Toyota details in their accessories web page, but I think I would prefer the molded option! Thanks for any input

Check with your local toyota dealership or get one installed at a Pontiac dealer. I'm sure they can do it for you.

The consensus on those 'molded' roof racks for the Matrix is that the rear cross bar sits too far back on the roof. You would not be able to open the hatch if you had your bike/skis/snowboard/kayak on there. You're much better off w/ the Yakima/Thule racks.

Also, Vibe roof racks don't fit on Matrices so you simply just can't go to your local Pontiac dealer.

Sorry about the wrong info dude. I though Matrix and Vide had the same roof.
