Expert Answers about Ski and Snowboard Racks
- Recommendation of Ski Racks to Fit on SportRack Semi Custom Roof Rack
- On the SportRack roof rack # SR1002 there are a number of snowboard racks I could recommend. Depending on how many skis and or snowboards you will be carrying you should choose the one that fits your needs. For example, the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7325 will carry 6 skis or 4 snowboards and is a good fit.
I've linked the page to all your options to assist.
I have included a couple video links for you as well.

- For your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser with factory cross bars, there are several options for ski and snowboard racks. Depending on the number of skis or snow boards you would like to carry, I would recommend the Yakima FatCat EVO Roof-Mounted, Locking Ski and Snowboard Carrier, item # Y03096, 6 Skis/4 Boards.
The maximum load for the roof of your FJ Cruiser is limited to skis and snowboards only so no bike mounts are recommended for your roof. A hitch mounted bike rack would be the easiest option...

- For Thule's now-discontinued Flat Top Snowboard Carrier TH91725 we do still have some replacement parts, including the Bottom Mounting Clamp # 753-2854, but components like the top clamp that are riveted on are not replaceable. If the carrier has slack in the hardware or a loose fit when mounted I suggest replacing it to avoid any chance of damage to/loss of your snow sport equipment or injury to other motorists.

- I have a few options for you for carrying your skis and snowboards without having to install a roof rack with crossbars on your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime. First are the easiest in the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carriers # SEA46ZR and # 298-SK2425. Both these use their vacuum cups to secure to your roof.
If you prefer something easier to access we do have some hitch mounted options if you have a 2" Receiver # e23ZR. The first is the Yakima EXO Swing Away Ski Carrier # Y42VR. If you already...

view full answer... - Ski Rack Adapter for a Schwinn 4 Bike Hitch Bike Rack
- The Yakima HitchSki, # Y02418, snowboard and ski carrier for hitch mounted bike racks that you referenced is designed to work on a two arm, 4 bike, hitch mounted bike rack that has Anti-Sway cradles and straight arms.
If your Schwinn 4 bike rack has similar anti-sway cradles, straight arms that are no more than 24 inches wide and cradles that are adjustable on the arms, you should have no problems using the Hitch Ski Carrier on your bike rack.

- While Thule does offer their Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter # TH9033 for a Hanging Bike Rack # TH9024XT, they do not have an attachment for a T2 # TH9036XT. If you do not have a roof rack for the Carrier # TH732508 you might consider the SeaSucker # SEA46ZR which will use its vacuum cups to secure to your roof.
view full answer... - Rooftop Carriers for SUP and Skis
- Yakima's SUPDawg Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # Y04075 does resemble a rooftop ski carrier but it is designed specifically for use with SUPs which can be 4 to 5-inches thick, a good bit thicker than many skis are when stacked together. Ski carriers like the Rhino-Rack # RR576 can be used with skis or with snowboards (or even fishing poles) but they will not be able to fit a much thicker item like a SUP.
What might work for you is a cost-effective combination of a ski carrier, such as the...
view full answer... - Recommended Thule Snowboard Carrier for 2 Snowboards
- I may have a solution for you, but the Thule 575 Snowboard carrier has been discontinued for some time and is no longer available. Instead, you could use the Thule SnowPack Ski & Snowboard Carrier - 4 Skis or 2 Boards - Silver # TH7324, which is also designed to be able to carry 2 snowboards and will fit on the same types of crossbars. This would be the currently closest available Thule carrier that would have the same specs as the 575.
I've linked a review video of this carrier for you...

- We do offer a Thule Replacement Tamperproof Wrench # 853-5270-02 that works with the tamperproof screws like # 853-5269 found on many Thule carriers. This is the same tool included in the Mounting Kit for Thule Pull Top # TH7520970001. The other 5mm Allen key is a standard type that is available at any hardware store.

- A sun roof can pose a challenge to compatibility of roof-mount accessory items like roof racks and bike and ski carriers. This is because a sun roof will cause a vehicle's roof weight-carrying capacity to be substantially reduced.
A better option is to install a hitch and use a hitch-mount carrier for your skis. If you have the Coupe version we do offer a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitch from Curt, their part # C11086. This hitch bolts on using included hardware. Any accessory...

- There are actually a couple options for a 2-bike rack and cargo carrier combination, depending on what kind of cargo carrier you want. Both are from Yakima; I'll go ahead and list the part numbers for you:
- Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # Y54ZR
- Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y34ZR
The Yakima EXO even has a swing-away base and the ability to mix and match parts. For example, you could remove the upper bike rack and add the GearWarrior...

- Many of Thule's rooftop ski carriers feature attachments that can accommodate square bars and other shapes including AeroBlade elliptical and many factory crossbars. Thule's SnowPack # TH7324 ski carrier, for example, can fit these various types of roof crossbars. This flexibility makes this a great choice if multiple vehicles will carry your ski gear.
Thule does not offer retro-fit kits or adapters to let their ski carriers for square bars fit factory bars.

- Any standard ski rack would work well on the Sportrack roof rack # SR1010 that you referenced but this is not the roof rack I would recommend for your 2017 Nissan Altima as we have found it does not fit very well since it was designed to basically fit too many vehicles.
A much better and still reasonably priced option is the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RREB126B, # RRRLKVA, # RREB-FK1, and # DK381 which gives you a really great fit and much higher quality components. I attached...

- Yes and yes! The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR576F needs cross bars to clamp onto. An interesting thing about this one is that it is also the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576. We have people that use this for both purposes for different seasons.
As for crossbars, the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Rails # C18118 is a great option. The best thing about these rails are that the cross bars are 2-1/8" wide x 7/8" tall. The Rhino-Rack Carrier # RR576F clamps around crossbars that...

- The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack you mentioned, part # SR1008 is compatible with your 1991 Acura Integra if it is a 4 door model. If you have a 2 door model, then you will also want to pick up the SportRack Short-Roof Adapter part # SR1116.
Thule has a ski carrier, part # TH32WV as well the roof mounted bike carrier, part # TH598004.
SportRack does not offer a fairing, so I asked my Thule representative if any of the Thule fairings would be compatible with the SportRack Frontier roof...
view full answer... - Replacement Mounting Clamp Recommendation for a Yakima ButtonDown Ski Rack
- The Yakima mounting hardware part # Y8860040 that you referenced will fit older and newer style ButtonDown racks so if you are looking for a replacement clamp this will work. It also fits wider crossbars than the non-aero Buttondown will fit.
This installs by having a bolt run down through the center of the clamp attaching it to the rack.
view full answer... - Are there Shorter Screws for the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier # RR572
- I do have a possible solution for you but there aren't shorter screws made specifically for the Rhino-Rack ski/rod carrier # RR572. The screws are M6 x 40mm which is about 1-1/2 inches long. Thule has a set of M6 x 27mm screws, # 1500052564, which are 1 inch long. But they are not tamper-proof.
Thule also has # 853-5269 which is tamper-proof but is 1-3/16 inches long which is 5/16 inches shorter than the Rhino-Rack ones. You would also need special wrench # 853-5270-02.
