07 Tl-s Needs A Snowboard Roof Rack...help
I had a tsx and bought a accord roof rack which fit perfectly and now it is not compatible with the roof on the 07 tl. I have been searching and I cant find anything that looks good. Is there a honda or acura accessorie that I can use? The one for my tsx was a honda accessorie from H&Aaccesories.com and it was perfect plus it looked good. I am trying to stay away from the thule racks cause they look ugly. Please help, is there anyone on this forum that has a roofrack for the tl? if so, any pictures. Sorry this post is all over but I am running out the door and really want to get this done because winter it coming!!!

This is what they looked like and I really want to get a honda/acura one for the TL but I don't think they make it.

^^^^He just said that he wanted to "stay away from the thule racks cause they look ugly". Relik... nice to see you from the TSX side Personally, I've always favored Yakima over Thule. The Yakima racks, IMO, are so much easier to put on and take off...
FWIW though, I believe the Honda/Acura OEM accessory was a rebadged Thule...

Any help here??? I need one soon and Now I found out that the old tsx roof rack I had was made by the euro devision of thule so the american fit kits are not compatible. Plus, the euro devision doesnt make a fit kit for the tl... Sooo I don't know what i should do. I am thinking about modifying the old tsx fit kit I had to make it work. If it doesn't fit perfect I wont use it. I really want to use the old components I bought so I need to figure out my options. Any Ideas guys? Any of you guys figure a way to get a snowboard rack on a new tl?

Just spitballing a idea here, but maybe you can dremel the plastic that frames the ski port so you can fit your board in there. People have removed the backseat so they can unbolt the frame but that is a royal PITA. I didnt try this so maybe someone can weigh in.

I'm guessing you searched and didn't turn up and results, but I could swear this was discussed going back maybe 2 - 3 months ago?
At first, I was going to ask why you couldn't just put down the rear armrest and slide it through (I used to do that on the CL to fit my snowboard in), but then, I read your signature and saw your system, haha. Guess that explains that! Nice system btw

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why can't you just go get a Yakima?

Have you looked at the Thule 400XTR Rapid Aero system?
