Very satisfied
By Charles
Have only used it once so far, but very happy with it.

The good:
- Installed very quickly onto the factory rack on our Sienna. Nothing complicated to figured out, went from opening the package to having it installed in minutes.
- Held a full load. 4 pairs of skis and a snowboard.
- Can lock it to prevent it from being opened to remove the skis, and to prevent it from being easily removed from the rack. Don't lose the key or you'll be very unhappy when you get to the slopes!
- When on and loaded, everything was very solid and secure.

The less good (but still satisfactory), pretty much all around the sliding feature:
- I'm only about 5' 6", and it is difficult to get the leverage to slide the rack in and out. You need to be able to push or pull both racks at once with a fair amount of relatively equal pressure, which is difficult on the top of the van. Perhaps easier if you are a bit taller, but I wished it slid a bit more freely.
- To latch the racks down onto the skis / boards they must first be fully retracted. So when they are loaded up and extended you need to push them back in uniformly or the skis move around. Would be easier to do if it slid a bit more easily.
- Because the snowboard goes in upside-down, it's bindings don't clear the siderails on the Sienna's factory rack. So the Thule won't slide out any farther than the first snowboard in the rack. With just a single snowboard you can just flip it bindings-up. If you need to put a couple in back-to-back, be sure you put them in first so you can slide the rack as far as possible.

Note I still would buy the rack with the sliding feature. It's just not as good as it could be.

Also, a couple notes on installing. Totally obvious in retrospect, but not in the installation instructions so of course I did it backwards the first time:
- Orient the clamps that attach to your roof rack such that the lock faces the outside of the car. Much easier to lock it that way!
- Orient the rack so that it slides out over the passenger side. That way you can load and unload from the curb side at the slopes, rather than standing in traffic.

Great Ski Racks
By Kell
Carry skis for the whole family? These are the ski racks for you. When we used them for the first time, my son said "these are so good Dad!"
They were simple to fit to my existing crossbars, they are easily locked and unlocked, easy to unlatch with the big button and best of all, when loading lots of skis, the sliding feature makes securing multiple pairs of skis a breeze. Tip- if you are only carrying one or two pairs, when pushing the racks back in, just make sure you push both racks at the same rate so the skis don't twist slightly. If you have lots of skis on, this won't happen. I have found that if I only have one pair, I just put them on without using the slide feature. Also, when unlocking each rack, you don't have to leave the key in the lock until you re-lock it. This was a very annoying aspect of my old racks and some of the other brands still do this. As you have probably guessed, I am extremely happy with these ski racks!

Great ski and board carrier. Plenty of room for the whole family.
By homeschool_mom
So far I've only attached it to take the ski's to the shop to get waxed for the season. They are very easy to put on and take off. It holds our 4 sets of ski's with plenty of room for more. I really think we can get two snowboards on there as well when my family joins us. 3 of the 4 ski's we have are the older skinnier ski's, so I'm sure that is helping to allow all that to fit. I'll update this post if I find any issues during the ski season. We just got our first big snow of the season! Can't wait to hit the slopes.
