Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carrier Review - 2013 Kia Optima- Video
Today on our 2013 Kia Optima we'll be test fitting the Yakima Fatcat6 locking rooftop ski and snowboard carrier with a six ski or four board capacity. With a Yakima Roundbar roof rack system assembled on our vehicle, we'll being our test fit by placing half of our carrier onto our front crossbar. Once we have it in place here on the passenger side we can bring the rubber coated strap around the crossbar fitting it back into the foot of the carrier, we can then clamp it shut. Then we'll repeat the process for the other side. We'll push the over sized button here on the end of our carrier to open our jaws. On the inside we'll flip up the thumb tabs, tighten them and then push them back down. more

Whispbar Roof Ski and Snowboard Carrier Review - 2013 Kia Optima- Video
Today on our 2013 Kia Optima, we'll be test fitting the Whispbar Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier, with a six ski or four board capacity, part number WB-300. With a Yakima round bar roof rack system assembled on to our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by placing the front half our carrier onto our front crossbar. Once we have it situated on the bar where we like, we can bring our straps around the bar fitting them back into the foot of carrier and then clamping them shut. We'll press the over-sized button here on the end of our carrier to open our jaw, move to the driver's side and on the inside of our carrier bring our strap around and fit it back into the foot of the carrier. With our jaw open we can flip up the thumb screw on the inside, tighten it and then flip it back down. This is the last step in securing our strap around our bar. We want to be sure to do this for both sides of the carrier here at the front. We'll grab the second half of our carrier and place it onto our rear bar. We want to make sure it is in line with our front half, then we can repeat the same tighten process we used at the front. With our jaws open, we'll grab our snowboard and place it onto our carrier, followed by our skis, then we can close the jaws firmly over our gear. Just like that we are all loaded up and ready to go. That completes today's test fit of the Whispbar Locking Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Carrier, part number WB-300, on our 2013 Kia Optima. more
