Car rack for carbon frame

[kenyonchris]

I have been hesitant about getting a roof rack for my car. I would be putting it on top of a mid-size SUV. How hard is it to get the bike attached with a high car roof?

Thanks.

I have a BMW x-3...I don't have a problem with getting my road bike (carbon fiber, 17 lbs) up there. My heavy-ish mountain bike is a little harder to wrangle up there, but I can do it without problem. On the Toyota Sequoia I had with my ex, I had a harder time...it is a lot taller than me.
