Default Thule 554XT Surfboard rack work on a Volvo s60 sedan question

I also posted in the Volvo car rack forum section but thought I'd drop the same question here hoping I'd have like twice the chance of getting it answered! Does anyone have experience attaching the Thule 554XT surfboard rack to a 2004 Volvo s60 with a factory rack that is made by Thule Racks for Volvo? Leaving on trip with a tight budget and hoping to spend as little as possible. I do want to lock the surfboards though, is this possible?

Default 554xt

Santos,
The Thule 554xt does fit onto almost all factory racks, including the Volvo S60. I would suggest getting some crossbar pads to protect your board. Have a good trip.

Default Thule 554Xt is all you need for a Volvo surfboard rack

I agree, the Thule 554XT is a superb 2004 Volvo s40 surfboard rack. If the Volvo factory rack is made by Thule (very common as both are swedish companies) then all you'll need is the Thule 554XT Hang-Two. I'd say you don't have to have the pads because the 554XT already includes some padding on the cradles to protect your surfboards. The Thule Racks 554XT stays elevated off the factory rack cross bars so the surfboard won't come in contact. You can fit two surfboards on it. The cheapest surfboard lock solution is pretty much the Lashlock. Just because it doesn't cost much doesn't mean it isn't effective. The Lashlock is one of the best! No need for any keys either.
