Most Popular Aero Bars for 2018 Subaru Impreza

Easy to install and feels reasonably solid. Why not a 5-star rating? Unfortunately, the key lock gets stuck every time. It takes a while fumbling with the key until it yields to open, more so one of them.

This rack works well overall. We really like having this wide version so it holds 6 pairs of skis easily. Any issues after 1 year? - The latch is not particularly secure, you need to ensure it has clicked into place properly, otherwise it could mis-engage and release. Rhino Rack recommend you lock each of them every time, which would be a hassle. - Its difficult to lock the latches. So the recommendation above is of little value. Apart from those two issues, works fine.

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.

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

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.

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.

I love this ski rack and the service I got while making the purchase from etrailer! This rack securely holds up to 4 pair of skis and is super easy to put on and take off of the roof. I would highly recommend this rack to anyone. I would also highly recommend purchasing this product and any other rooftop rack needs from etrailer

We added two more racks to the two we already had on our Jeep. Easy to install and use

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.

My second Rhino Rack. I use the racks for skiing and fishing pole. I travel a lot and have never had a problem with them. The Installation is simple and can be completed in under 15 minutes. Etrailer was cheaper than amazon, didnt charge for shipping, and I got the rack a few days after ordering. Would totally recommend etrailer.

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.

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!

Thule makes excellent products no matter what you need.and always get them from etrailer they have the best customer service bar none.

The folks at E trailer are great people to deal with. Very knowledgeable and put me on the exact product I needed, and for the right application. Highly recommend this company!

Love it!!!!!! Great ski rack replacement for older rack. The extended slide is incredible. The eTrailer support helped me pick the model that worked for my car and crossbars. Another wonderful purchase from my go to source for bike/ski or other related products!

Used this last season for the first time. Found it lightweight and very easy to install; the main difficulty was getting front and back carriers aligned on the center of the vehicle as the clasps are offset. It was used to hold 4 sets of skis and did this quite easily. I think 5 sets would be no problem, but six sets might be pushing it especially if you are using wider skis. It is very much worth the extra money to get the extender/slide out option if you stand under 6' tall and have an SUV.

Easy to setup. Installing and removing is very easy.

Great product, can fit 2 pairs of wide powder skis and poles in easily. No issues, left the carrier on year round

Awesome ski rack

Super solid, like all things Kuat makes, and even a knucklehead like me was able to mount the ski racks in short order. Plus the Pearl White looks killer on my white 4Runner!
