Video Transcript for Rola Roof Top Ski and Snowboard Carrier Review

Today we will be reviewing the ROLA Roof Top Ski and Snowboard Carrier, part number 59600. This fits up to 6 skis pr 4 snowboards. It has a dual locking mechanism that keeps the skis and snowboards secure while traveling. Oversized push buttons allow for easy release of the skis or snowboards. As universal mounting hardware this will fit your round bars, square bars, and most of the factory OEM roof racks. Here we have the dual locking mechanism, we have a key lock and then we have the large thumb lock.

You can see its an over sized lock so even with your heaviest of snow gloves on you will still be able to release the lock. The foam rubber pad is strong enough that it wont allow your skis or snowboards to shift around but yet soft enough that I can even close my hand in it. You can see here the universal mounting clamps that will secure it to your round square or factory bars. It comes with two allen tools. The larger one will mount your brackets to the carrier.

The smaller one will be used to tighten down your hardware to your crossbars. Now we will go ahead and install it on a set of factory cross bars. Its not a requirement to center it on the vehicle. It can be mounted to either driver or passenger side; you just want to make sure that your thumb lock is easily accessible. Well center the carrier over the top of the crossbars.

Now we can go ahead and install our hardware. When tightening down your fasteners, you want to make sure you do it evenly front to back. Alright theres the drivers side, I will repeat the same process for the passengers side. With our front carrier installed we can repeat the same process installing the rear carrier. With our roof top carriers installed, well go ahead and load up with our skis and snowboards.

It is recommended that you put your snowboard with the fins down, and the ski tips facing the rear of the vehicle. However, if on your snowboard your bindings are too tall, it can be turned over. With skis and snowboard into place we will go ahead and lock it down, we will press down on the carrier just a little bit and lock them into place. Now we are ready to hit the open road. And there you have it for our ROLA Roof Top Ski and Snowboard carrier part number 59600. .
