Mitsubishi sells a roof rack for the mirage. I got mine for about $300 and when I got looking at it its actually a rebranded thule roof rack.

At $300.00US that’s actually not too bad of a price for a Thule rack.

Roof rack from MicksGarage.com.
Sub Total: €99.50
Delivery: €18.95
It fits perfectly!
I just use swimming pool noodles from the dollar store + some ratcheting straps. Also place a movers blanket underneath because the straps can make the car's paint rub away. But if I can carry that huge kayak and ON THE EXPRESSWAY then I think most people can haul their stuff real cheap like that and dont have any penalty of fuel economy compared to a REAL roof rack that is always on.
unlike the photo below i use 2 noodles cut in half so it makes 4 logs underneath the kayak

That's different for sure. I have one of those webber ladders that is 3 "ply" or whatever, so can get an 18' ladder in my Mirage with the trunk closed. I told the cashier that if this stunt doesn't work, I'm returning the ladder immediately. I love the handle in the middle.
