OEM Snowboard Rack...

Looking for the OEM snowboard carriers. I ordered from dealership and just received a call that they are discontinued. Each carrier holds 2 snowboards...i'm looking for 1 carrier but will consider 2 for 4 snowboards if available.

TIA

I suggest looking at the Thule racks. There's a number of options here http://www.orsracksdirect.com/thule-...ard-racks.html They have 20% off too.

The Thule 91726 and the 5401 takes 4 snowboards or you could get two of the Thule 575 to carry 4 snowboards.

Thanks for this brian5...problem is i recently installed the OEM rack system specifically for snowboards. Just need the slide-on carriers for boards.

The Thule racks might still be compatible --- they claim to be.

I haven't looked closely at the OEM roof carriers but the OEM hitch mounted one (for bikes) appears to be a re-branded Thule product.

I think you're right...it seems compatible. Will look into it further.

So i ordered the the 91725 from my sports shop but the tie-downs wouldn't fit...the OEM cross-members are too thick. Ordered the snow cat instead and it worked out great. It lock onto the rails so i took the cross-members down. Thanks brian5

Thanks for the link, I just ordered a 91726. I always thought the OEM one looked a little goofy anyway.
