Question

Does anyone know where I can get a bike rack that is designed to work on an Scooby(STI4)?
I'd prefer a roof mount (to avoid the tail plate problems) but either will suffice.
Also any hints and tips on buying one, from people who've already got them ?

Hi,

I'm looking for one for my MY99 at the mo too. I've heard that the Thule system is pretty good. Thule

Halfords sell these, although I'm sure you can get them cheaper elsewhere. Here's another supplier for comparison and rough prices Roof Racks

I have a Halford own one, that fits to the tow bar (different to what you want).

Only advice I would have is that try and knot the straps, don't just rely on the buckle thingies, they get lose and my sisters fell off!

Also something to consider is whether you can lock with a chain or whatever the bike to the rack and the rack to the car.

Can recommend the Thule systems, have used these on several cars, very good.

Not as good as getting a wagon though, so you can put the bikes in the back

Cheers
