Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Great product at a great price. Fit an adult snowboard, two sets of adult skis (one set stacked, one set side by side because of how close the bindings were to the roof), and a set of youth skis. Fit snug. Only got up to about 73mph on the highway, but no issues. Some normal fluttering on the snowboard/skis. If you have a torque meter to tighten the bolts that's ideal but I didn't. I just got them snug enough to where I pulled back and forth on the rack and it didn't move.
Works awesome with the snowboards, easy to attach/detach, and durable. Locks and holds fine, initial ordering was confusing and hard to figure out since it’s not a package, and had to get individual components. Rhino rack could definitely improve that! Otherwise it would be 5 star.

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Decent rack for the money. The locks are a bit finicky due to the metal/composite combination. They definitely require graphite lubricant regularly. I've only used it with 2 pair of skis and it works well.
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!!

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
etrailer ships fast and has great prices! While the rhino track is plastic and not fancy, I’m able to attach 2 snowboards and it works. You have to help it with the hand to get it aligned to lock (maybe due to new stuff rubbers?) but I’m pretty happy and took about 15 minutes to install. If you want something on the cheaper side, this is a great option and these guys will ship FAST
We bought these to go alongside a roof box and they work great, freeing up space in the roof box for all the other stuff you need for skiing. They are sturdy, don't wobble on our Thule bars, and the lock mechanism works well. They would fit 3 pair of x-country or narrow alpine skis; with wider alpine skis you only get 2 pair (there is about 300mm of room on the rack and while many skis are <100mm underfoot, they are 15-35mm wider at the widest part so you can only fit 2 pair).

Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 2 Pairs of Skis or 4 Fishing Rods
This rhino product was the perfect solution for me. With a roof rack nearing capacity, I still wanted an accessory for my fishing rods AND ski’s. This rhino product filled that need! Super easy to install in the T-track. Thanks agan!
Last year I purchased Rino ski racks from etrailer and they work great . The hardware fit my roof racks and all the fittings are tight. Ordering was easy. Shipping was fast and I even got a follow up personal email from George a year later asking how I liked them - which was impressive! I would definitely recommend etrailer as an honest and good outdoor gear company!

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Silver
So easy to install onto Thule AeroBlade. Quality materials and convenient design. No significant noise noticeable from wind resistance when driving. etrailer provided great shipment/notification support and was great resource for how-to videos, commentary.
Better than I expected. Only comes with four core locks so be aware of that if you want six like I did. Bought two more locks from Thule with the same key #. Mounted this carrier on my Rhino Rack. Perfect fit and looks great. Would highly recommend.
Installation Guide for the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack on a 2017 Ford Focus
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the SeaSucker Monkey Bars, we're gonna take a look at how they fit on our 2017 Ford Focus. So this is the hatchback version of the Ford Focus, and if you wanna carry around fun accessories like kayaks or need to carry around a ladder, well, you're gonna need a roof rack system. The options are actually limited for the hatchback version versus the sedan version, so the SeaSucker Monkey Bars might be one of the better options for you. This is a very versatile roof rack we can put anywhere along your roof. Depending on what you're carrying around, this can adjust with you. So I have a 48 inch long crossbar here, which I recommend for this vehicle, but if you need to, you can get the 60 inch long crossbars, which will give you more space.
Best 2017 Ford Focus Roof Rack Options
Today on our 2017 Ford Focus, we're going to take a look at the best roof rack options available. Now when searching for roof rack systems, these are going to be the top three choices from each of these different manufacturers. Up at the top we have our Rhino-Rack RS series roof rack system. Here we have our Inno square bar roof rack system, and at the bottom we have our Yakima JetStream bar roof rack system. Now each of these three roof rack systems has their advantages, but let's go ahead and take a look at the differences between these roof racks. Now the most obvious difference between these three racks is going to be with our middle rack, the Inno, which has a square bar as opposed to the aero bars or vortex aero bars of the Rhino-Rack or the Yakima. Now while the square bar isn't going to necessarily cut down wind noise and drag, you can purchase separately fairings that will do that for this system. With both of our aero bars, the Rhino-Rack and the Yakima, we do have this rubber strip on the tops of both of them.
