Universal Car Roof Rack - Fit Most Crossbars, Carry up to 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Snowboards, Aluminum Snowboard Ski Rack with Lock & Rubber Padding

I installed this on my 2016 Silverado and they worked great holding 5 fishing poles securely. Installation was quick and easy and fit perfectly on the Redrock cross bars I had. Recently while driving, the front cross bar broke loose and smashed into the rear cross bar sending both flying off my truck at about 65mph and sliding across the highway. Even though the damage to the Redrock cross bars was quite severe, the Vevor racks survived with only some scrapes. They still open, close, lock and unlock as they should. I’m pretty annoyed the Redrock cross bars failed but I’m honestly impressed that the Vevor racks held up like they did.

REVIEW UPDATE: I can now recommend this rack, did not rattle or show any signs of early failure. For reference I loaded it with 4 snowboards and it survived 700+ miles of driving at up to 90 mph, very gusty 60-80mph winds, temps down to around 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and saw about 2-3 feet of fresh snow fall. I oriented all the nuts to be pointing forward to test if the hardware backed out at all, and they are still in the same orientation. I still recommend some sort of water displacer or lubricant in the lock body. The locks never froze on me, but the latches did get slightly sticky. Locking the latches makes this a non issue. Side note this was in California (San Diego to Mammoth Mountain) where it doesn't get particularly cold and they dont salt the roads. I bought this rack with my own money, the fit and finish isn't as good as the big name brands but for the price you get a good piece of equipment. Only real issue is that if someone wanted it, they could take it off your car in less than 5 minutes. ORIGINAL REVIEW: It isn't snow season yet for me so I'll probably update this review in a month or two. I took it for a short shakedown drive, you will want to do this as the mounting hardware settled and loosened up a bit by the time I got back. Blue loctite could be a good idea but I have heard some thread lockers are bad for plastic, which there is alot of. Mostly riveted construction. The rack is built with some interesting (poor) design choices but ultimately seems sturdy enough. The lock works as a physical stop for the latch so it is a good idea to lock the rack before driving. The only big issue I found so far is that the top is able to twist since there is alot of space between the top and bottom latch pieces (see picture). I think this can be fixed this by shimming something between the latch pieces so the top can't rotate as much. The twisting visually isn't as bad on the hinge side, but I will probably try to shim that side as well as there is also alot of space. The mounting hardware that secures the ski rack to your roof rack has a rubber pad on top, but is bare steel on the bottom. I used some 3m adhesive rubber pad to prevent it from marring the bottom of my roof rack. The mounting feet do not seat into anything on the ski rack so it can rotate, this probably isn't a huge issue once installed but you will want to make sure everything is square during installation. No torque specs on the instructions, and the screws are all square neck bolts that seat into plastic. Thumb screws are also plastic with a hex nut seated inside. Be careful not to over tighten these as I can see the plastic stripping out with enough torque. I think these would work best on roof rack bars with a mostly symmetrical cross section, I have "aero" bars and the shape of the mount foot doesn't rest nicely on it.

Took a risk on this having no reviews but am pleasantly surprised. The rack seems well built and allows opening and closing without locking, though I’d recommend locking to prevent it from opening accidentally. Very easy to install, took around 10 minutes. The rubber for skis and boards is sturdy but soft. The mounting brackets are sturdy and come with a rubber top to prevent sliding. The lower bracket is solid metal, about 1/8” thick. One improvement could be to include an additional rubber piece for the bottom bracket to prevent potential marking of the car’s cross bars, but it may not be necessary. Great value considering it’s half or less than a name brand, but seems to be of similar quality.

I have the non-sliding version. I struggle to get the racks closed and it gets worse when I have more skis in the rack, and almost impossible after skiing when there is also snow and ice in it. The issue is that when the racks have skis in them, it pulls the latch side towards the other end of the rack and it doesnt click into place. I have to manhandle it and pull hard to get it to click in. If you have this rack and are trying to figure out how to get this latched when full of skis, you might benefit from someone pushing on the top of the rack from the other side of the vehicle. Once the racks are closed, they work well and seem solid. I would buy a different rack knowing what I know now, this was a great deal but its a little scary knowing I am going to have to fight with the rack at the end of a ski session.

Does not work! Snowboards almost came off while driving to the resort. Do not recommend. Good idea in theory. The base shakes like crazy and mechanism that secures the rack upright is not properly engineered. Shipped it back for refund and it’s been 3weeks and no refund yet. They keep pushing it back

I have this on the rack of my Toyota Land Cruiser. It fits 4 snowboards not sure about skis. I ride a 160 wide and the wife is on a 145 and they fit but it is a little tight. Feels very sturdy and doesn’t have rattling while cruising on the free way. The locks work well and are a great feature

We have had this ski rack for a full ski season now and it has worked great. The latches are like new after being used every weekend over the ski season. It is also super easy to take on and off, as we sometime prefer a pod for longer trips. we even forgot to lock the latches a few times and they held fine while driving through Colorado storms.

after only using this rack like 6 times a plastic piece on the locking mechanism broke. parts are cheaply made and break easily, especially in the cold weather. i would recommend spending a little bit more on a nicer roof rack as this one won't last you long

It doesn't tilt. When installed, you can't open the rear gate or back door.

Skiträger passen perfekt auf Zubehördachträger! Montage war leicht und und ohne Probleme! Was für mich ausschlaggebend war: zum absperren diese skiträger!

Comodi e facili da montare, soddisfatto👍

Very happy with the support I received for this product. It all started after I installed the product onto my car. That’s when I noticed that one of the nuts had a defect that caused cross threading. I contacted support and they ended up FedExing me a replacement part. The build quality is acceptable and it functions perfectly fine. Great value.

Hat leider nicht gepasst,da die Ski nicht fest verankert waren und im Träger reingerutscht sind.Super Kundenservice,Rückgabe problemlos
