Fossil2k2 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 a little off topic but... Lieu, any good skiing in the Blacksburg, VA area? Must be an awfully short season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users LieutenantDan Posted December 1, 2009 Mega Users Share Posted December 1, 2009 Nope, there are 2 places within 2 hrs that suck a lot usually(Wintergreen and Winterplace). Snowshoe in West Virginia is fairly close and that's about the biggest resort around here. Still sucks though because it's mostly manmade snow and short runs. My brother lives in Golden, CO though and I've already got my plane ticket. I just feel all giddy inside thinking about backcountry cornices, mmmmmmmmmm.

andyarmada Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just got my Thule rack yesterday. I love this thing!! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2620/4158858554_6b7f0f4eca_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2655/4158095945_fb17a1776e_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2499/4158096281_e9818a140b_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 something looks funny with the fairing , it looks kinda concave... maybe its just the pictures but it looks like you may have swapped the inside hardware with the outside hardware... but i could be 100% wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyarmada Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I think you're right. I was trying to figure that out. Will fix it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercury3545 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I think you're right. I was trying to figure that out. Will fix it today. Hey what feet and crossbars did you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddelfino Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 For either of the two setups (Thule/Yakima) do any of you have leakage near the windows, or road noise? I had the thule with another car but it didn't clip under the window, it was on a weatherstrip on the roof. I've heard thule has some feet that will mount directly to the roof. I'm guessing they are permanent, but if it didn't have those two problems I'd be willing to do it. However, I've had little luck finding out if there is an offering for an 06 LGT. My other option is to make a stainless trunk tray that has some "yokes" to hold the skis up off of the back of the armrest. The edges are killing that thing. Plus then I could throw any wet stuff back there and not worry about the trunk caving in like it already has started to. Any feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineyLGT805 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm purchasing a Yakima set up soon and have heard through research that the mounting instructions are not too accurate. Will someone confirm and if they have done this before provide the proper measurements for mounting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users LieutenantDan Posted December 18, 2009 Mega Users Share Posted December 18, 2009 I've installed hundreds of Yakima racks. The instructions leave a little to be desired but the measurements are spot on. It does help to be familiar with racks in general (pieces, parts, etc). If you buy one from a good shop they should offer to install it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theGeneral Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) I think you're right. I was trying to figure that out. Will fix it today. Mine did the same thing, then I realized that I had all of the position (fitment) holes in the "one" position. You want the two middle ones on the two position and the outside ones on the "one" (furthest in) position. When you do that it kind of curves the fairing. Hope that helped. When I tried to put my rack on today I realized that one of my bars is to short, it is about 47 inches and I need a fifty.

theGeneral Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 My question is; do you guys with racks and fairings drive your cars through car washes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil2k2 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 My question is; do you guys with racks and fairings drive your cars through car washes? I have multiple times. I specifically asked the guy running the wash if it would be a problem. Just be aware the top of your car won't be spotless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMCsquared Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 BUMP this business up... So I have found a used thule rack for a reasonable price but it was on a 06 WRX sedan. So from my understanding, this will fit right on my 09 legacy sedan, correct??? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elib Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Uhh, am I the only person who doesn't like driving around with a rack when it's not needed? Mine stays in the garage unless I'm going snowboarding etc. Takes about 15 minutes to put on but I would rather not have the wind noise and reduced mileage. I guess it's just part of my night before snowboarding ritual, along with waxing my board, getting all my gear together, ipod loaded and charged etc. I also usually am putting on my snow tires so I spend an hour in the garage the night before and I'm all kitted out. I know some people like the look of the rack but the negatives are too much for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHracer Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I need a rack for my bike and bords and such. Nobody makes a cleaner looking rack like some of the ones I have seen from the factory on BMW's and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGeneral Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Got my rack put on. Thule rack with fairing and square bars. I went to Home Depot and bought plumbing insulation foam and wrapped the bars with zip ties, works very well. http://www.submiturpics.com/images/wekinsg9y5xp5oherb1s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
