Ok here's the scenerio. Girl just got a mini van Nissan quest with factory rails. If I throw Yakima rail grabs on top will it support a pa? The Yakima site says they can hold 165 lbs. I am unsure of the quest rail limit. I normally load it in my truck but she got the van for long trips just hoping to be able to bring the yak along to go fishing. |

Should be fine. You might want to check the capacity of the roof rack, it should be in the owners manual if it's not on a sticker directly on the rack. The bigger problem is lifting a Pro Angler that high! Also, handling of the Nissan will be affected with that much weight that high up. |

The factory crossbars are 125 it does not have those so I got the yakimas which have a higher capacity. I will check the Manual see if they list rail capacity in there. Thanks for the reply |
