Hi... I'm looking for ski/snowboard rack for my '02 TLs. I know, I know it sounds not very good to put ski rack on TL but I don't have a choice, not going to sell the car for next couple ski seasons...
I tried to google it but not much info found. Here are my question:


Anybody using them?
Any brand preferences?


Thank you in advance...

 

Go with either Yakima or Thule.

 

^ agree. they make good roof racks for that stuff that work on our cars.

 

Dang... very quick reply :-)

Princelybug... MOst Yakima and Thule selling racks for SUVs or cars with factory installed rails

 

I have a thule rack on my 03 tl with a wind deflector. I actually think it makes the car look pretty sweet. Plus it is nice to be able to carry snowboards, kayaks, bikes, and all that. I'll look for some pics and post em in a bit.

Holybigfuckingpicture

 

Thank you Saintpattic for the the picture...

 

and the yakima

 

yeah sorry bout the pic being soo big, didn't realize until it was too late

 

i would recommend the yakima, the round cross bars make more sense than square ones on the tl. only reason I went with thule is because I got a lot a free attachments for it from a friend, plus my roommate has thule so we can share attachments too

 

looks pretty sick

 

dude hows your car on snow? Mine is lowered so the camber is bad and let me tell you, it sucks in the snow. Does it drive ok when its not lowered?

 

I live on the coast of Maine so there is a lot of snow and a lot of steep hills/winding roads. It sucked at first, I have to climb a pretty steep hill to get to my house and my car has slid down it a few times. Since then I put a set of snow tires on it and they make the car perform soo much better in the snow. Also putting it in the sportshift mode helps by keeping the car in a lower gear than the tranny would normally want to be in.

 

SHAME ON THESE heads, me and another member are the only current ones rockin roof racks, I have the latest YAKIMA setup-ran close to about 800 check my threads
