However, it does not accommodate multiple snowboards and the locks are finicky. This was bought with the intention of transporting several snowboards. To begin with, this device is secure and locks down. However, if you want to do two, you'll need to get everything in the right place, with the boards slightly stacked, before closing the arms. If you have more than two, you will be considered a cheater. best of luck! That would be near-impossible to achieve. br>br>Although we're making it work, it's not easy or perfect. br>br>Also, the locks are a pain to work with. They work some of the time and some of the time they don't. That is, the key will not be able to be inserted.
I received a damaged rack Sam and am waiting for a replacement, but I'm not sure how to get a return shipping label. I'll contact UPS to see what I can do. I'll keep you updated once the replacement arrives, assuming it's not defective. I'm keeping the new one, even though the key gets stuck in the lock every time! I discovered that if you jiggle it a lot while pulling it out, it comes out easier. I'm not sure how long it will last before it breaks, so I'm keeping Velcro in the vehicle just in case! This is something I would not buy. The only thing I like about it is that it's simple to put together and appears to be well-made. It's just a matter of waiting for the lock to snap.
They appear to be attractive, but what good are they if they can't hold boards without causing problems? The lock has a serious flaw in it. My skateboard became entangled in the wheels of my car. If you don't want to be at the bottom of a mountain fighting with the key to get your bird off the racks, this is not the route to take. br>After finally unlocking it, the latch broke a week later.
At first, I was very pleased with the price and functionality of these, but on the first day of loading my board, I went to press the big red button to open the rack, and the button and spring flew into the snow, never to be seen again. Really? They've only been used once and are already broken. These are made on a shoestring budget.
I'm not pleased with myself. I'm in the middle of Jackson Hole right now and can't get my skis out of the carrier. When it first arrived, the product worked and looked great, but after three days of use, I can't get the locks to work, and my skis are stuck on my car. I'm not sure if it's because of the cold (which the seller claims it shouldn't be) or because I got a faulty product, but either way, it's ruined my ski trip. I would recommend investing in a Thule if you have the extra cash.
Pros: br>Easy to install and fits Subaru OEM (thin oblate) bars. br>Holds skis to rack securely and rack to bars securelybr>br>Cons: br>The mount is insecure in and of itself. Anyone can unbolt the rack and take it. br>Threaded inserts for the bolts The inserts can be stripped from the plastic if you overtighten them. br>The solution is to replace the inserts with longer bolts, washers, and nuts.
It's fairly simple to set up. The soft rubber on the inside is appealing to me. However, there is one point to consider: I'm not sure if all ski racks are the same, but I'm curious why someone wouldn't just take the rack off and steal my locked skis. all, and install it on their own vehicle It would take no more than a few minutes.
It's cheap and flimsy!.
