Will Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576 Fit a 2013 Toyota Highlander Factory Roof Rack
Question:
Can these be used on the 2013 HL with the factory bars? Also would it clear the bindings? I plan to load 2 ski sets and 2 snow boards. I also considered Thules 7326.

Expert Reply:
I measured the mounting clamps on the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # 576 to determine the approximate maximum size of crossbar they can fit. Based on my measurements the maximum crossbar profile is 3-3/4 inches x 7/8 inches. If the bars on your 2013 Toyota Highlander are in that range then the carrier will fit.
On this carrier it measures 3-5/8 inches from where the skis will sit in the carrier down to the tops of the crossbars. If you measure from the tops of the crossbars to the roof on your Highlander and add 3-5/8 inches and come up with a measurement more than the height of the bindings then the bindings will not be a problem.
I checked with Thule and the SnowPack carrier # TH7326 will fit your Highlander. It includes different height feet to accommodate thick boards and tall bindings.
