Question:
Just received my ordered Kuat Grip Six. Trying to load skis that are hooked together in the typically, and the binding of the upside down ski hits the rails of my car when I try to slide the rack into place. Can I use parts from the accessory package, GRDMK, as a spacer between the portion that wraps around the crossbars and the actual rack, to raise the Kuat rack enough to help the bindings clear the rail?

Expert Reply:
If you choose to mount some accessories from the T-Channel Mount Kit for Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier # GRDMK, I strongly recommend that the grips that attach to the crossbars are still fully attached to the bars so that it will deter any shifting (or, even worse, the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier # GRR6G falling off the roof). As long as the crossbar attachments remain fully functional for the Kuat Grip, you will be good to go. I confirmed with Kuat that this will not void any warrantee on the Grip.
