Customer Reviews: I bought after much research & was not dissapointed December 13, 2009 J. Alexander 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this snowboard rack after much research and deliberation online. I have not yet used it for a snowboarding trip (perhaps I will update this review later).
But I can tell you I am pleased with the design & function. The rack pulls out horizontally over the side of the vehicle allowing easier access to the rack's contents.I was concerned that the sliding hinge would freeze up during winter. I have been driving with is on for a month or so and test it regularly. I believe the sliding hinge will not be a problem.
ONE MAIN QUESTION that I could barely find an answer for online is how the rack actually holds 4 snowboards (what the orientation would be). The rack is wide enough for only two boards side by side; therefore, the second pair of snowboards must face bindings down underneath the other snowboards (so that the snowboard's base is touching the base of the board above it). I wondered if the bindings of the lower set might not quite clear the roof's surface. I was right. While the bindings to fit (barely in some cases) I would be worried about binding straps scratching my roof when you pull the thule rack out or a driving on long trips while the binding straps are free to fly in the wind. The solution for this is to put the boards with higher bindings on top. For long trips I plan to jury rig some duck cloth atop my roof so the bindings don't hang down & stratch my roof.
Ski mount is good but setup is longer than expected March 9, 2010 M. Wong (Fremont, CA United States) The slide out design is good and conventient to load and unload ski.
The only comment is that it takes time to set up the mount properly on the roof rail.
Great... However... February 20, 2010 ilan (Rio De Janeiro, RJ Brazil) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you want to get it right the first time try another brand...
Second time i buy thule and parts are missing from the racks... 2 out of 5 thule products I have purchased came with parts missing... In other words may not work as intended... Other than that... great stuff...
