We purchased the Thule Ski racks from Acura, they go on and off with a phillips head screw driver, not real easy to do but not bad. Work well carrying ski also, plus they have the cooooool Acura label 
So are these the same racks that Tim has on special this month?Munch said:We purchased the Thule Ski racks from Acura, they go on and off with a phillips head screw driver, not real easy to do but not bad. Work well carrying ski also, plus they have the cooooool Acura label![]()
I cannot find the post of the person who outlined that particular VW adapter. I remember that the person mentioned about the need to modify/customize the spacer or the bolt since the X cross bar is thicker or curved.s2ktaxi said:Would the VWADAPT solution work in this case? or is the mount totally different?

Do you know thier wrbsite or place to buy them? Thanks in advance.CTMDX said:You should consider one of Barrecrafters AB-4 or AB-6 - for 4 and 6 pairs of skis, respectively. And, it fits the MDX roof carrier.
Thanks Ard, mine are wood & gut models too, classics. Now I'll have more room for that bunch of sled dogs I haul around in back of the X...ardvarkus said:Ghost-
Yep, I think they would-
The Thule rack (I have the bigger one, six pair) has a thick rubber extrusion that clamps down onto the skis. It really isn't foam rubber, more like a hollow 'fin'. It is a nice compromise between deformability and snugness.
I can easily clamp down onto the handle of a ski pole, which is probably as thick as snow shoes (even those wood and moose gut ones I have out in the shed...)
