Question:

Good day, I bought Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbar - Aluminum - Silver from you about a year ago. Now I want to mount there Thule Ski Rack 724. Can you kindly advise what are the right attachments for that? I guess that can be either universal ones, or clamp-ons like C36, or channel-mounted Thule adapter. Please advise. The precise adapter names and model numbers are more than welcome. Thank you,

Expert Reply:

For the Thule Flat Top ski carrier 724 you can use mounting kit # 7533998 to clamp the carrier to the Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars. I would go with this kit because it is not limited to crossbars with the channel on top like the next option.

The next option is to use adapter # Xadapt2 to mount the 724 carrier in the top channel of the Vortex crossbars. the Thule T-bolts are compatible with the Vortex bars.
