Great rack that stores easily
I have owned and used this Thule rack for 7 years and it has worked great until my wife tried to scrape it off on the garage door. She didn't wait for the door to fully open. Also you have remember you have the rack on when you go into parking garages if you have your boards on top. Make sure you have enough clearance. My MDX just clears the garage doow with the boards attached. Fits easily w/o the boards on it. Also, I've never had any trouble with the boards getting dinged up. Maybe the other users aren't adjusting the rack so there is even tension on both boards. It's very easy to make the adjustment so I'm not sure why that would be the problem.
Rusted bolts breaks off!
Bolts rusts then breaks off during transport! Clearly a defect/poor part selection; good luck with having Thule honor their so called lifetime warranty.
Major Design Flaw
I drove with my snowboards attached to this product for a cumulative of less than 50 miles. The low base point where the snowboards sits will chaffe terribly. It cracked the clear coat and rubbed all the way down to the wood on my brand new snowboard. It takes the road vibration and puts it into two major stress points on your board... On the side and at an angle. Snowboards aren't designed for that! If you care for your snowboard don't by this product.
Cables come off
I teach skiing & boarding and have 2 sets of these racks. One for each SUV. The problem with this rack is if you are caring 2 boards you must push the hold down cable backwards to get the back board in the top slot. When you do that the cable comes out of it's hold down slot and falls on the roof of the car. You then have to deal with trying to get the cable back in the slot while the rack is installed which is not easy. I've put duck tape around the tops of each rack to keep the cable from coming off.
Ok carrier
I've had no trouble with this carrier. I like it because it saves space when I use it with my Thule 4 snowboard carrier. Unlike the other reviewer, I've never seen any damage done to my snowboard with the carrier. The only problem I have with it is that it 'feels' cheap and unstable. Other than that, I have no other complaints.
