ROOF RACK for snowboard / bikes

[choiboy5]

Anyone know where to get one of these set up? I live in Canada. I drive my car all year around, and would love some extra room for my snowboard and mtn bike... would like the option of taking it off in the summer, and definitely don't want anything done to the body (drilling, etc)



Also looked into handirack... looks ok, but not sure about not being able to have the windows up completely...




thanks

I bought a Handirack to have it "just in case", but to be honest I've never actually put it on the car so can't give you any feedback on the straps.

I got a handirack and used it a few times to transport snowboards.

Positives:
- Easy to setup and go
- Easy to remove and pack back
- Does what it's meant to do very well and feels sturdy/attaches securely

Negatives:
- Straps can cause damage to paint, they did cause some minor damage to my wrap. I would recommend using some cloth or similar material to protect the paint/wrap at the strap contact points with the roof. A cloth under the rack itself where it contacts with the roof would also be a good idea
- Both windows must be kept slightly open, so driving can be a bit noisy and less than ideal in winter
- Pump that comes with the rack feels/is flimsy, but it does work fine, I use my garage compressor though as it's a lot faster and easier

Handirack with anti slip mat under to prevent scratching. Works great as long as it doesn't rain.

Does anyone know if those magnetic ski rack would work on the r8s or is the chassi/roof aluminum?

Looks pretty cool. I'm getting one in the spring.
