  • How Does the Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier Lock to the Rack
  • The Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # Y03096 has locks that not only secure the skis to the carrier but also the carrier to the rack. It's pretty obvious how the skis are locked to the carrier but not so much so about the carrier to the rack. If you take a look at the attached video around the 5:50 mark you will see the tension knobs being tightened. The tension knobs require the rack to be open for access and with these tight you won't be able to pry off the straps that...

  • Can The SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier Be Attached to a Vinyl Roof?
  • I went ahead and checked the owner's manual for the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-SK2425 and they explicitly explain that the rack is designed to be attached directly to an unobstructed glass or metal surface.

  • Can I Use T-Bolts To Attach My Older Thule Flat Top Ski Rack To the Thule WingBar Evo?
  • You do not have to use the Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # 7533998 with your older Thule 725 Flat Top since your Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 have an integrated t-track on the top of the bars. The Mounting Kit for Thule Flat Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # 7533998 would only be necessary if your crossbars didn't have the top track.

  • How To Store 4 Snowbaords On The Yakima FreshTrack Ski/Snowboard Carrier
  • To store 4 snow boards with the Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking # Y03093, you can either store them side by side, or if they are too wide, you'll have to stack them on top of each other in pairs. Additionally, this carrier will need to be installed on a set of crossbars. If you do not have a set of crossbars already, I recommend checking out the: -Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 with the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA,...

  • How to Carry 4 Snowboards on Rhino Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier
  • In order to carry 4 snowboards on the Rhino Rack # RR576, you would simply stack 2 boards in the same manner as you would with a pair of skis, so that the bottoms are together. You would need both sets of boards to be no wider than 27-9/16" combined in order to carry them in this manner, which shouldn't be too difficult to stay under with most standard sized boards. Carrying the boards in this manner is not going to damage the boards as long as you're careful when loading and take care...

  • How Do the Yakima FatCat and FatCat EVO Ski and Snowboard Carriers Lock
  • The Replacement Mounting Hardware # Y8860078 does, in a roundabout way, lock to the roof rack on your vehicle. Both the discontinued Yakima FatCat ski and snowboards carriers, as well as the Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier # Y03096, utilize the locks on the outside push-buttons to lock the whole system. The mounting hardware can only be removed from the inside of the carrier itself so as long as you lock the cores on the push-button the carrier will be locked to the crossbar....

  • The Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards, part # TH9033, needs a bike rack to be installed on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in order to work. You can carry it on a hitch bike rack or a spare tire bike rack. If you want to carry it on a hitch bike rack, the first thing you will need is a hitch receiver. If you already have a hitch receiver you can skip ahead to the hitch bike rack. My hitch receiver recommendation is the etrailer...

  • Can You Lock This Thule Ski/Snowboard Rack To The Crossbar
  • Yes, the Thule # TH7326 will lock to the crossbar. There are 4 lock cylinders included with the SnowPack, two will go into the carrier and lock the skis/boards to the rack and then you can put one in each foot of the carrier to lock it to the crossbar. If you use the T bolt feet you will need to lock the end of your crossbar to secure the rack to the crossbar. All four feet have the option of a lock core, but will not need it to secure it to the rack. I've included an image of where...

  • Snow Board Carrier and Description of How SportRack Roof Rack Works on 1995 Honda Civic Coupe
  • If you look at the photo one of our customers submitted, you'll get a better idea of how the SportRack # SR1003 roof rack and the # SR1116 Short Roof Adapter fit together. Because your vehicle is a coupe and there's not a second set of doors at the rear of the vehicle, without the short roof adapter the crossbars would mount so close together, they couldn't be used for anything. The adapter provides side rails and another set of clamps that allow the rear crossbar to be moved rearward a...

  • Will the Thule 4 Bike Rack Fit a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  • Yes, the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter part # TH9033 will work with the Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. However, the issue you are going to run into when using the Bike Rack on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited is the rear spare tire. In order to be sure the bike rack will clear the rear spare tire you will need to measure from the outside of the bumper beam to the outer edge of the spare tire on your Jeep (see photo). You will then need to subtract the length...

  • Can Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier be Left On During Car Wash
  • While we have not heard of any specific feedback from customers regarding your question, I do highly recommend removing the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7326 from the vehicle before entering a car wash. I checked with Thule and they also stated that it should be removed to avoid any potential damage. This will be the case with any roof-rack accessory.

  • Will Lock Cores of Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier GRR6P Fall Out If Unlocked
  • The lock cores of the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # GRR6P are not going to fall out if left unlocked with it's current design but also you really would want to have the rack locked when travelling just so there would be no chance it would release. Not that it necessarily would open when travelling but the lock mechanism definitely would prevent that.
