Most Popular 2 Snowboards for 1996 Honda Odyssey

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!!

The Rhino Rack was easy to put up on a 2018 Subaru Outback. Took me about 10 minutes. The only issue is that the rack bottom bracket piece is is convex with an acute angle which makes it not fit perfectly on the Subaru crossbar that has a flat bottom. Loaded 2 pairs of skis and poles and the rack kept them securely fastened during transport on the highway. There was some noise from the rack during highway driving but it was minimal.

This carrier worked incredibly well! At first, we were disappointed that due to the grooves on the roof of our 2018 Honda Odyssey, the suction cups would not form a seal- the cups on each rack were spaced so the grooves couldn't be avoided. We had assumed the roof was the optimal placement. Not so! The instructions illustrated a placement on the rear window. This worked out even better! Much easier to reach than the roof. We were concerned about driving with an obstructed rear window, but using side mirrors and backup camera, we were fine. The suction cups do need to be perfectly clean in order to seal, so we brought a spray bottle of water with us on our trip. This came in handy for re-mounting the rack for the ride home. Previous reviewer tips were very helpful, such as getting a car wash before mounting, importance of checking for any orange band showing at pit stops (we had no loosening on our 2 hour trip), and lack of a lock, which meant that we removed the rack after unloading the skis at our destinations and put it in the car...no big deal. Much better than having a rack permanently affixed on a car soon to come off lease. We benefitted from mounting our gear the day before our trip in a trial run. Once we got the hang of it, we were amazed at how all four pairs of skis and poles fit in the rack, and the cover locked them on with no difficulty at all. Excellent product, fast shipping, helpful website! Thank you!

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!

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

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.
