    I read in the owner's manual that installing a roof rack may interefere with the navigation system (the GPS readings, specfically). Does anyone have any experience with this? We love the nav system, but need to install a roof rack to carry bikes and the occasional surfboard.

    It is possible but doubtful. The antenna is in the dash behind the MFD towards the windshield.

    I have a Thule roof rack w/ a ski rack. I've used it a few times carrying skis and/or snowboards with no GPS problems. I would doubt that carrying bikes or a surfboard would be any different.
