How Much Crossbar Distance Does the Rhino Rack Ski Carrier part # 566U Take Up

Published 01/07/2015

Question:

Hello, I am looking at the Rhino Rack 566U 6 Ski Carrier. You specification show that the external length of the rack is 33.5. From the pictures, it is evident that the feet take up less width than the full rack. Could you tell me the exact width that the feet will take up on my roof racks crossbar? I am asking because my crossbar only has 30.0 inch of space where the feet can sit I have a 2009 Toyota Matrix with OEM Toyota roof rack. I have included a picture to clarify which dimension I am asking about. Thanks

I spoke to my contact at Rhino Rack and he informed me that the dimension you are looking for is 29-1/4. The Rhino Rack Ski Carrier part # RR576 that you referenced will take up 29-1/4 inches of your crossbars.

I attached the picture you submitted and added the dimension to it.
