Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Nice ski/snowboard rack for the money, easy to install, Was able to hold 1 snowboard and 4 ski's (kids) I would not consider it 5 stars as its missing a few considerations for something you will be using in the cold (which IMO should be as easy to use as possible): * locks are a bit finicky, in fact one of the two racks refused to lock when any pressure was on the top bar (meaning anytime it has skis or boards in). I actually had to have to the top arm up, insert the key and slightly turn it, then close the arm in order to be able to lock it. * the latch mechanism must be perfectly aligned to close and that is difficult to do in the cold with gloves on if you are not directly in front of each component. So if your car is like mine you have to close one latch (which requires standing on the inside of the vehicle with the door open to reach it), then get down open the rear door and repeat. If the mechanism was designed with some sort of self aligning guide the extra steps would not be necessary as you could reach over and close the second one without moving.
Howzit etrailer.com & staff. the rack itself is sturdy and more aero than comparable units. For my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek (OEM) Aero Bars, it was necessary to shim the (rear) lower/leading edge clamp assembly with two 1/8” x 1.5” x 1.5” (EPDM) rubber pads. The bars are shaped like a wing – and these shims helped to level the rear rack with the one in front. Overall - it looks very clean and functional. I might screw on some rubber ends over the ends of the mounting bolt to complete the project. Time to make some turns. Thank you!!
