Hey all,

I am wanting a cheap roof rack for my 03 that I can use maybe one or two times this year to bring some snowboards to the places around the area when I have friends from out of state visiting. I have read many threads about Yakima and Thule racks, but from researching, these usually go for 200-300+ for a setup. I am wanting to spend like $100 or less because of how often it would be used, an expensive setup is not worth it to me. I have tried looking on craigslist for used setups, but not too much luck. Anybody have any input on this? From searching around ebay, I see a lot of universal roof rack setups for $50-60 roughly, anyone try one of these setups? Do they even work?

Thanks in advance!

 

Don't know much about universal racks. But I did search for them when I was in the market for a rack. I found its just not worth it they're all crap quality and fitting it to you car can be sketch.

Just search Craigslist every day in the summer. People are practically giving away yak's. I scored a yak with a bike attachment, snowboard attatchment, and fairing for $50. Flipped it in the winter for $250.

 

How much are you going to save on a roof rack when it falls off and all your gear goes along with it?

 

Do you have experience with the universal roof racks or no? If not, please refrain from cluttering up the thread. Thanks.
