hrmm i see
yea i see how those ones have a more curved fit kit that follows the window frame more

mine is from Thule and the fit kit is made just for 2g dsm's
i think i got it, i just had to have them on the exact right spot on the loader bars and then have the towers a little more inward so it pulls the hooks (from the fit kit) up in more snug so it does not hit the window

Thanks!
 
Just be careful when mounting and make sure that your vehicle is supported. The original owner of my car was a skier. He did not use a rack that supported our cars and .. well lets just say that the paint on the roof where it mounts clearly shows this.
 
ok i got them on and added pictures to the first post for the Thule racks
 
thank you for posting pictures of your setup!

ive wanted a ski rack ever since i got my first dsm!
have fun riding:thumb:
 
Looks great!
I usually just throw my back seats down and toss my snowboard in the back LOL

thanks! LOL i was gunnna do that to but this way i can take some pore people to ride with LOL
 
how did you mount that? I got yakkima in my backyard, thinking to put on by talon build.would you mind taking more pictures?
 
What kind of roof rack is this? I'm a Michigander so snowboarding and skiing are close to my heart :D I always go up north to Boyne Mt with my fraternity brothers and it's a pain in the a** trying to fit a snowboard in a coupe ...

I've found a couple examples but I'm not sure if they'd actually fit:
