Purchase a roof rack, which can fit best with your PT Cruiser. You will find a number of roof racks available in the market. However, it is advised that you should go for the rack made by Mopar, as the company is the official producer of the racks for the PT Cruiser from Chrysler.
If you find it a bit expensive to buy roof rack made by Mopar, then you can go for any other rack too, as the process for installation for other racks is similar to that of Mopar’s. -
