Best aftermarket snowboard rack?

[ike301]

What are some good non-BMW racks? Easy install, easy on not damaging the rails, etc.

Best quality and budget?

I got some yakima racks. They are quick install and removal, about 10mins max, and thats being real careful not to scratch anything.

All you need is 58" crossbar and low rider attachment. It set me back like $200. Let me try to post pic.

When it comes to aftermarket racks, you can't beat Thule or Yakima.

Hey BalX5, it's cool that you can lift the Yakima snowboard carrier on one side for that extra roof clearance. On my Thule I couldn't put the snowboard upside down due to lack of clearance so I can only carry two instead of four boards.

Breyton,

Yeah the yakima has a small plastic adjustment add-on so one side can be angled upward. This was actually a trip to your country, Whistler, BC.

Thanks KewlX5 for the pics. I missed the size quota by a few megs and didn't have software at work to adjust the size.

Cool!! Never been to Whistler. Powder snow must be awesome there.
