I think fitting the rack to a Sport involves drilling two large holes in the plastic valance to locate the horizontal load bearing arms, the top of the rack clamps onto the top of the rear deck.

You might be able to see it better on mine.

I didn't realise what I was starting when I mentioned thermionic. Sorry to all the luggage rack fans!

With careful tuning you can get an full octave out of a luggage rack.

...and you can transport a huge Fender guitar amp...

Hi- know this thread has moved on, however.... I had the factory fitted Alpine CDE-201R fitted from outset. Basic FM radio with CD. I see mention of a remote control. Does anyone know if I can simply purchase an Alpine remote control and I will be able to pair it to the radio installed in the car? If so, should I be looking for a particular reference number/name and where would I get one from (I don’t have an EBay account and would rather avoid having to set one up - but do have Amazon)? Thank you to anyone in the know!

Just wanted to add my thanks. The remote arrived today and it appears to work exactly as hoped.
Thanks again Keith
