Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
E trailer I have a 2019 Mazda6 and purchased the rhino rack series 2500 parts (fit kit #DK289, foot pack #RRRLKVA, aero crossbars#RRVA126B-2), and the rhino rack snowboard/ski carrier #RR576. My car does have fixed mounting points underneath the strip on the roof so I opted to add them to my roof and not use the clamp for kit that goes in the door jam. Every time I entered the year, make, and model of my car, the parts came up with the clamp fit kit part #DK387 which I did not want. But after some research, I found the correct fixed mounting point fit kit. The site of course told me that this part wouldn’t fit my car but after looking at the customer reviews, I saw them used on Mazdas. All of the rhino rack instructions were not the best. We did have to make some adjustments. One of the instruction packs tells you how long you’re supposed to cut the rubber pieces that go into the crossbars based on your car but unfortunately, the measurements were wrong for my car (picture- front 166mm is wrong). The front bar length was about an inch too short and I had to add more rubber to make it longer to fit the fixed mounting points on my roof. After some time of trying to interpret the instructions, and looking up whatever available instructional videos were online, we finally finished installing them and they do look really nice. At higher speeds on the highway I can definitely hear more noise. The actual snowboard carrier is fine, fits all 4 boards fine. It is a little difficult to close once I have my boards in there because you have to push the top bar all the way down and hold it down to be able to turn the key to lock it. I’m just happy I don’t have to shove the boards in my trunk. I do like that all the parts in this series come with locks and keys. So far no problems. Overall good product.
This rack works great with the four pairs of skis I lugged from Oregon to Alaska. I'm using it on the beef rack cross bars that came with my go fast camper which are very difficult to find mountings for. This one worked great though with a little bit of metal grinding on the bolts that slide into the t-slot of the rack. It locks and unlocks fairly easily (with a little bit of jangling involved), but so far so good!
Yakima FatCat Ski and Snowboard Carrier Review - 2014 Dodge Journey
Today on our 2014 Dodge Journey we're going to test fit the Yakima Fat Cat 6 locking rooftop ski and snowboard carrier. It can carry up to 6 skis or 4 boards. With the Yakima round bar roof rack already installed on the vehicle, we're going to test fit by placing half of our carrier onto the front crossbar. Bring the rubber straps around the crossbar and then clamp them shut on the front of the carrier. Then we're going to push the button on the end of the carrier to open the jaws and then we'll flip up the thumb tabs and tighten them and push them back down. Once we have the securing process straightened out, we'll grab the second half of our carrier and place it on the rear bar. Let's make sure that it's in line with the front half and then we can repeat the same tightening process that we used on the front. With the front and the rear secure, we can go ahead and open our jaws.

Today on our 2014 Dodge Journey we'll be test fitting the Whispbar locking rooftop ski and snowboard carrier. It can carry up to 6 skis or 4 boards, part #WB-300. With the Yakima round bar roof rack already in place, we're going to start by placing half the carrier on the front crossbar. Bring the rubber coated straps around the bar fitting it into the carrier. Once that is in place you can flip the buckle and push it down, open up the jaw by pressing the oversize button, flip the thumb tabs and screw them down to secure the straps in place. Once they're tight, we can push the tab back down. We can grab the other half of the carrier and place it on the rear bar.

We'll again repeat the process when installing the rear carrier making sure to line it up with the front carrier. Now that our rear carrier is secured we're now ready to load our skis.
