Thule roof rack with 3 door liftback

[blacksandiegovitz]

Shit yes man ! I'm loving the look of that thule rack and the functionality too. I'm sooooo debating getting one of those for my surfboard . Yes , to most it will kill the look of my car but I really dont care as its my car and I can't fit a surfboard in the car with-out taking the passenger recaro bucket out . What was the total cost of the same set-up shown in your picures ????? Thnx for posting info/pics I think most thule threads were lost in the big "hack of 08'"

I don't remember the complete price, but it was somewhere around $350 for the rack system (towers, bars, locks, fairing), plus extra for any attachments. Shop around on Amazon and all over the internet. You will come out with a lower price than if you go to a shop.

As for a surfboard, Thule does not recommend this system for a surfboard. I think you would be better going with a gutter system (drilled into your roof). [I should also add that this recommendation is for a 3 door hatch only...4 door hatches have a longer span, and may be able to carry more load...check www.thule.com fro more information on this]

As for pics of the install, I don't have any...sorry. THe system is made to easily be removed from the car without having to reposition the towers on the bars...meaning that it should be really easy to reconnect.
