Rack Attack Team
At Rack Attack, we offer options for all sizes of vehicles. We have been seeing a lot of the newer Fiat 500's and have some great rack options for them!
Thule makes a great roof rack system for the Fiat using the 480 tower, pictured above. This system, clips around the roof behind the doors allowing for ski or bike racks. The 480 towers use a basic steel bar, but are also available in an aerodynamic, aluminum Aeroblade using the 480R towers.
With Crossbars in place, any of the Thule or Yakima Ski Racks will work. This customer opted for the FatCat 6, which has a 6 ski or 4 snowboard capacity. It also comes with a lift kit, which allowed clearance for the bindings, keeping them off the sunroof.
Not to worry, if you don't want a roof rack - we've got lots of hitch mounted options as well. The Fiat 500 takes a standard Class 1 hitch rated to carry 2-3 bikes.
Once we've installed the hitch you can add any 2, and some 3, bike hitch mounted racks from Thule or Yakima. Pictured is the Thule Helium, a premium 2 or 3 bike rack made of aluminum. This makes it light-weight and rust free. The Helium also comes with locks for the bikes and a lock to secure it to the hitch.
With any of the hitch mounted bike racks you can look at a Ski and Snowboard attachment from Yakima or Thule. Thule just released a new product for this winter the Thule Tram. This will fit to virtually any bike rack and is extremely easy to load!
I recommend visiting our store at 98 West 3rd Avenue in Vancouver or phoning us at 604-872-7225 with any questions. We keep most of these products on hand and can offer same day installs.
