2004 Acura TL ski-snowboard rack for skis and snowboards

[janemedic]

Looking for a good 2004 Acura TL ski / snowboard rack system that'll allow my family to carry several pairs of skis and a couple of snowboards too. Can you carry both skis and snowboards at the same time in a ski rack? also would like to hear what other acura TL roof rack owners are using or what others with professional car rack advice have to say. thanks.

Hi janemedic, first off I highly recommend going with the Thule 400XT Aero base roof rack system. No matter what gear you plan to carry on your roof, you will need a multi-purpose roof rack base system. The Thule 400XT Aero car rack system includes four 400XT Aero feet, four FitKit 2138 Clips (specific to your 2004 Acura TL rooftop) and two square load bars (please note the 50inch length square load bars are the recommended size for your 04 Acura TL roof top as well). You'll then attach the ski/snowboard carrier to the 400XT Aero front and rear load bars. For your needs you'll want to go with either the Thule 91726 ski rack or the Thule 91725 ski rack. The difference between the two is that the 91726 will actually slide out off the end of the base rack bars so you can very easily load the skis and snowboards without having to reach up and over the car to lay the skis/snowboards on the ski rack. The 91726 and 91725 will also allow you to carry up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards. Plus you can mix and match carrying skis and snowboards at the same time. The 91726 and 91725 come with a pair of Thule locks included to lock your skis and snowboards inside the ski rack. You should also probably get another 4 pack of Thule locks so you can lock the 400XT Aero base rack to your Acura TL rooftop as well.
