Expert Answers about Ski and Snowboard Racks
- Replacement For Barrecrafters Ski Rack With no Replacement Lock Available
- Barrecrafters was discontinued, as their line was not brought over when SportRack was acquired by Thule (Barrecrafters was under the SportRack brand). So for that reason, there unfortunately isn't an available lock core or keys that are available for your ski rack. The best option we can offer is a new ski rack, and there is a nice option for this from Rhino-Rack:
- Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards # RR574
I really like the Rhino-Rack ski rack...

- While we do have a mounting kit that will allow you to clamp on your Thule Pull Top 92726 ski rack to your aero crossbars, I checked with Thule and there isn't a way to attach this rack to the T-slots. So if you were okay with that and wanted the clamps, the correct part is the Mounting Kit for Thule Pull Top Rooftop Ski and Snowboard Racks # TH7520970001.
Otherwise, if you definitely wanted to utilize the T-slot to mount a rack, the only option would be a different carrier which had that...

- Thule did offer a previous version before their current offering, which they called the 987XT Ski Carrier. The new model became available a few years ago. The old carrier was well received by our customers, and I do not recall any specific problems or complaints associated with it.
The current model, the Thule Tram is compatible with current Thule Vertex or Apex regular or swinging models as well as the Parkway and Hitching Post Pro racks. The primary purpose for the redesign was to make...
view full answer... - Is There Bike Rack That Converts to Ski Rack
- There is a way to get a system with a bike rack that can be converted to a ski rack. This is called the EXO system from Yakima, and it's a base with arms that allows you to mount different accessories; the base even swings away for easy access to your vehicle's hatch (if your car has a hatch, of course). Here is what you can use:
- Yakima EXO Swing Away 2-Bike Rack # Y92VR
- Yakima SnowBank Ski and Snowboard Carrier for Modular EXO System - 5 Skis or 4 Boards # Y57VR

- Since the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Bike Racks # Y02418 mounts to the Ridgeback 4 # Y02458 and Ridgeback 5 # Y02459 by using the bike cradles that are already on the racks, there is nothing on the Ridgeback or the HitchSki itself to protect it from theft of the HitchSki itself. With that being said, the best way to protect the HitchSki from the Ridgeback is by using a locking cable like the HandCuff lock kit # Y02466 (if it is installed on your Ridgeback) or by...

view full answer... - Does Wind Fairing Help Ski Rack Stop Whistling so Much
- A wind fairing really won't help to stop the noise coming from a ski rack, as it won't direct the air flow over the rack. The whistling is likely mostly coming from between the bars where it clamps onto your skis, but also on the top of the ski rack.
While any accessory on top of your roof is going to make some noise, if you really cannot live how bad the whistling is (like on longer trips), then the only other thing I can think of would be to stop using the ski rack and instead put your...

- They key number should be engraved on the lock cylinders you have installed on the ski rack, as shown in the photo I edited for you. The photo shows # N030 engraved on the face of the cylinder, so the correct replacement key for that cylinder would be part # THKEYN030. Find your lock number, and place the THKEY prefix in front of it, and you will have the part number for the correct replacement key.

- Thule doesn't offer a replacement lock housing for the Cascade 1500, I'm sorry to say. In this situation, your best bet will be to either replace the box with something of similar size like the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box, part # TH615. The box has 16 cubic feet of storage space that can handle 6-8 pairs of skis up to 181 cm in length or 4-6 snowboards.
As another option, you could repair the box after a fashion. Install two hasps such as part # 720DPF and lock the hasps with two...

- Unfortunately, the sport carriers do not have interchangeable parts. They are designed for a specific purpose and do not come with any additional parts that would allow you to carry a different item.
We do have some carriers that can carry surfboards and kayaks and canoes or paddle boards. They are carriers like part # RRRWP05. These are simply pads that wrap around the crossbars and then you use tie-downs like part # TH531 and # TH855XT to secure the gear to your roof rack and your vehicle.

- The Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars consisting of the crossbars and feet # RR54GR do have integrated locks to deter theft. The locks secure the crossbars to the roof and secure the channel-mounted carriers to the crossbars.
The Aero-type crossbars are the lowest profile roof rack for your 2011 Mazda 3 as each crossbar is only 1-1/16" tall which will cut down on wind noise from this rack.
