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!

Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 2 Pairs of Skis or 4 Fishing Rods
Product arrived very well packaged and on time. It’s very robust and came with locks installed. It’s also set up for T-bolt rails which I needed. It was also a few dollars less than Amazon. etrailer is great to deal with and their YouTube videos on this and other products are extremely helpful.
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!

Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Looks great on the vehicle. Had a little struggle tightening onto the cross bars but adapted and overcame!
It's a ski rack so its not all that exciting. I like that it is small for storage reasons when not using it. The fastening system to my Toyota Highlander factory rack is secure but a little cumbersome to apply and take off. I like to take it off when not using it to preserve my gas mileage. The boards and skis fit fine although they are stacked in order to get 4 peoples worth of equipment up there. A small price to pay for their compact size on the roof or in the garage.

Kuat Switch 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards
Excellent ski rack. I purchased because I wanted absolutely no noise. This thing is super quiet went flipped up or down. Love the looks of it flipped down. Absolutely no complaints. Easy to use and set up.
Arrived fast, easy to install on my 2021 Toyota Rav4 Limited. Love that it folds down when not in use. Haven't been to the mountain yet but looking forward to putting it to use. Save the box for storage - came with nice foam ends to protect it.

Yakima FatCat EVO 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I actually ended up buying a second set so I can fit a total of 8 pairs of skis on my jeep. I love the quality and ease of installation. It’s an easy to use system and love that my skis are secured.
These are extremely easy and quick to install. Love the aerodynamics of them as well as it's quality craftsmanship. Very pleased with this item and with the delivery speed! From North Shore Oahu....MAHALO

Yakima FatCat EVO 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Just got my Yakima Fatcat EVO 6 ski carrier (black finish) and I am stoked. Note that this is different than the Fatcat 6 (non-EVO, previous generation) carrier. This is my first ski carrier, but I and/or my kids ski about once a week at Alta and Snowbird when the lifts are running, so I expect it to get lots of use. Etrailer shipping was fast and item was packed in a sturdy secondary box. PROS: 1. I love the sturdy build and quality finish of the carrier. 2. The design allows many micro-adjustments to fit to your vehicle and to fit the skis. For instance the spring-loaded hinge on one end and the lock on the other end can naturally accommodate different thickness skis. 3. Carrier has a usable width (i.e. width of skis side by side) of 32.75 inches (832 mm). For those that are not skiing on 75-mm-wide skis from 30 years ago, this carrier might actually allow you to fit 6 pairs! 4. Separate mounting brackets for aero or for square/circle cross bars. The aero brackets fit securely on my Acura/Honda OEM cross bars. The flat part of your skis will be about 3 inches (76 mm) above your cross bars. 5. A built-in lift bracket that lifts by an additional 3 inches (76 mm) the hinged end of the carrier, if you have really tall bindings (I don't think I'll need to use it). 6. The aero brackets use a rubber coated steel strap to wrap under your cross bars. This strap has a quick release cam on one end that can be operated when the carrier is not key-locked. This means you can remove or install the carrier without tools in about 4 minutes, once you've done the initial install-related tuning. While the carrier seems sturdy enough to leave on the vehicle all winter, I expect I'll only install it on ski days. This feature really sets this model apart and for me was its biggest selling point. 7. Yakima packages the carrier in a nice-looking sturdy cardboard box with a flap lid. I can fit the two parts of the carrier in the box, with the brackets/straps still installed, for convenient storage (see picture). CONS: None so far, though I haven't yet actually hauled skis up the mountain! After this ski season is over and eTrailer asks me for a follow-up review, I'll let you know. I'm also thinking about seeing if the ski carrier can be attached to my small hitch-mounted cargo carrier. That would make loading and unloading the skis easier than on the roof.
First off...you can't beat the service of etrailer.com. I was looking for a ski rack for my son's 2012 Subaru Impreza with the factory roof rack (base model not the sport). I could find no reviews of anybody installing one of these on one of those. I took the plunge and will say that I am very happy with the outcome. The installation is a bit tricky and four hands help, but after the first one was installed we had the hang of it and the second one went on very quickly. Even with the expedited shipping this rack was about $50 cheaper than the Subaru ski rack. Again the etrailer.com service is fantastic. I have purchased products here before and will do so again.

Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
This rack easily fits 5 sets of skis for my family. It is FAIRLY easy to take on and off (could be faster if we didn't have to turn turn turn the dials). My biggest complaint is that as soon as my skis are out of it, I HAVE to remove it from my car (SUV). The noise of it empty on my roof is so loud when I am on the highway it is AWFUL! It's like it vibrates my whole car and is super loud. It only does it when there are no skis in it. It is frustrating since it would be way easier just to leave it on all winter taking my skis on and off when we need to, not the entire rack.
Just put this snowboard rack on my 2011 4runner mounted to Thule Aeroblade roof rack. Easy to install and use. Quality seems good. Like the look. No noise issues when driving. No complaints so far. Overall satisfied!

Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking - 3 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
I think these racks will be excellent during ski outings for many years. I attached them directly to the C-grooves on my Aero bars rather than using the provided clamps. The C-groove attachment is stronger and slightly lower profile. I love the large release buttons!.
I can't ski, I fly fish. However my oldest decided to try downhill skiing after being gifted a pair of skis. I am budget minded should the skiing not work out and after breaking many rod tips decided this might solve 2 problem. I am very pleased w/this equipment holder. It has transported skis & ski poles too and from and no longer does my oldest have to dodge skies coming over the back seat. So far it has taken abuse from the rain (& freezing rain), snow, ice, rapid warming, road salt, and upwards of 70mph and there has been no shifting, loosening, breaking of plastic or any other noticeable problems. I am excited for spring to see how it transports my fly rods.

SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards
Quite an amazing product. When it arrives, you think, "Oh man, how is this going to make it the whole trip?" But I can tell you that I traveled from Fort Worth to A-basin/Keystone and back with no issues. That's 1640 miles there and back at speeds up to 85 mph and at least 3 of the world's climate zones on just this one trip. It is best practice to give each of the suction plungers a few taps every time you gas up, but I forgot a few times and it still caused no issues. Simple assembly with 4 suction cups and 2 of the high-density plastic racks that connect to each other with an included alan key and headless screw. Also includes the high tension straps you'll need to fasten skis/boards at the front and rear of your gear. When I say this rack was solid, I mean like I'd touch it to test for stability while driving and gassing up and it felt like it was sitting in hardened cement. Absolutely rock solid. And, there's a spare strap and plunger included. A couple minor things worth noting (but none of these could justify taking away from the 5-star rating I gave this product): - The suction cups require a clean surface, so don't take this lightly. I took mine to a car wash right before mounting. - The clean surface must also be smooth and seamless. I didn't notice until I started mounting that my truck has a grooved roof, so I had to put 1 rack on the bed cap roof. It worked great. - I wish there was an option just for skis b/c these racks were about 1" too tall to fit in the garage while mounted to the roof, and it's obvious the height of this product is to also accommodate snowboarders. Like I said, minor stuff. 5-stars all the way. You won't regret it!
Only used them once for a 4 hour drive to the slopes. Transported two snowboards at highway speeds for a majority of the travel. Mounts stayed planted and were still very secure at arrival. Nice to be able to remove to when at destination while traveling around locally.

Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Slide Out - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards - Black
Rack works great. Slide out makes loading and unloading much easier. So far we only put five pairs of fat skis on. Might have room for one more pair if I closed the gap between pairs but we didn’t need six pairs for that trip. Only problem was the rack froze up after driving through fresh rain. We had no problems with freezing while driving through salted slush. So far we’ve used it on two longer ski trips to CO from AZ. It’s quiet and strong. We once had a cheaper rack release our top model, expensive, skis onto the highway at 65 mph. That’s why I bought a Kuat.
These rack are great, I have them on both of my SUVs all winter. The etrailer seevice was excellent as well.

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.

Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at our Rhino-Rack roof rack system here on our 2021 Volkswagen Jetta. This system has the 49 inch long vortex aero crossbars, the towers for naked roofs and the custom fit kit for your Volkswagen Jetta.

So if you wanna carry around some fun accessories on your Jetta, maybe you wanna carry around some kayaks or a roof box.

Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2017 Volkswagen Jetta
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Volkswagen Jetta, we're going to be test fitting the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System consisting of part number RRRS330B, and this is going to be both arms and the fit kit itself all packaged together.The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System is great for carrying a wide variety of accessories on your Volkswagen Jetta and freeing up space inside your car as well. This can carry anything from bike racks to cargo baskets to some smaller cargo boxes. The bars have an elliptical shape to them, and that coupled with the Vortex Aero strip up at the top will minimize wind noise and drag while you're driving, making your drive a little bit quieter as opposed to the square or round bars, which can produce a little more noise.This simply clamps to the existing door frame on your vehicle, and an added bonus to this particular system is it comes with everything included. You don't have to buy separate kits or separate part numbers. While it has a locking end cap, it also helps protect your T-track accessories as well once they're installed. What you would do is you would move the Vortex Aero strip, cut it to length, place your T-track accessory in and then replace the Vortex Aero strip around it.

We've already got our crossbars assembled according to the instructions, so now we're ready to fit them up onto our vehicle. The first thing we need to do is open the driver and passenger side front doors. In this particular application, there are mounting holes fitted into the frame of our door. So we're going to locate these, as the pin on our clips will fit into these.
Whispbar Flush Bar Roof Rack Installation - 2006 Volkswagen Jetta
Today on this 2006 Volkswagen Jetta, we're going to be test fitting the Whispbar roof rack system from Yakima. We'll be using the flush mount bars, part number WB-S6, as well as the fit kit for our Jetta, part number WB-K408. We've already got our roof rack assembled according to the instructions, so now we're going to mount it up on top of our vehicle. We'll place the front crossbar up on top of our roof. We'll line up the posts on our clamps with the holes that are preformed in the door frame of our Jetta. We'll take the locking screws and tighten them down, pulling the clamps against the frame of our vehicle.
