JUST BUY THE STANDARD VERSION

By vic2621805 Ranked #1431 - Car Racks January 2, 2009

I bought these over the standard version for my surburban thinking they would be better suited for a taller SUV, but all they have done is cause problems. The plastic endcaps that keep the rack from sliding while closed broke off on not only my first trip of the year, but on the very first day. Maybe it's just me, but I figured a SKI rack could withstand a bunch of snow and ice. The result of these falling off, renders the sliding action inoperable bc the racks now slide off in both directions making it almost impossible to close. These caps were held on by ONE PLASTIC, dime sized rivet, and most likely broke while I was breaking the ice that had frozen on them while we were skiing. Another complaint I had is that you still have to get on top of the car each time to actually close he rack bc they spring up out of reach unless your 10 ft tall. I'm gonna try to get my money back and maybe try out the standard version or yakima.
