ya i posted this in the accord forum also... but more people here respond and are teh smart?... well lets not go to far.

anyways i have a 2 door accord and i need some sort of ski rack to put my skis in! anyways i heard about some magnetic or suction type racks that go right on the roof??? otherwise any other thoughts would be good... so far my only idea is duct tape and alot of it

 

If you have an Accord just fold down the seats?

The ones that look llike suction cups don't just hold to the roof with those - it also has straps that clip onto the inside rain gutters of your car.

I have a Yakima rack ($200 for everything) and it's interchangeable with other things like a bike rack, kayak, and other gear. I'm going to be putting on my hatchback soon.

You can get a generic rack at Sports Authority, Walmart or Kmart I think.

 

http://www.thule.com/ - can be a lot of money though.. i was gonna get one until i figured out how much it was gonna be. i have to take out my subs and loudspeakers so i can put my skis in my trunk this winter

 

well i rented a car in Utah the other week.. they had ones that just suctioned or magnetized onto the roof of my impala and held 2 pairs of skis really well.

i would fold the seats down but my speakers/amps are back there and i dont' wanna screw them up

 

I don't know if I would trust suction cups or magnets to hold my skiis on my roof. Your skiis act like a wing up there especially at highway speeds.

 

thatd could be bad news

 

does it matter if i have a 2 door or are they universal 2/4 door racks?

 

If you have a 2 door sometimes they make an extention part to make sure you have a long enough cross span.

 

ugh i have no idea where to get a good ski rack worst x-mas ever

 

Try an automotive store...
