I have just been to see how much a ski rack would cost and the bu99er's want to charge me £100 ex vat [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Has anyone in the South East area got one which I could rent off them for a week? I have a MY99 saloon.

Would by MUCH appreciated

Used a soft rack on my MY00 which cost about £20. Had to thread it through windows though as no roof gutters. Does the job though for surfboards dont know about skis.

Wilf,

I will be on skis this year so would love to get a rack if poss. Thanks for your idea re: soft rack though - where can I find one as I've never heard of them before

Kingsize,

Try a mail order surfing company like Tiki based in Devon. I'm sure they have a web site. If you order one you may need an extra set of cords to thread through the car. The racks come with pads and stuff so the roof doesnt get damaged and special fittings to actually hold the boards/skis on top.

It works quite well and you can still shut the windows without leaks. I use mine for w'end surf trips. If you're gonna use your roof rack alot though a fixed system is probably best.
