Default stock roof rack question

hi all,

nows its soon skiing season and i have a related question...

on the stock roof racks, can u mount ski holders? (a bit curious since the stock racks are much thinner than 'Thule' ones...)

I am thinking of getting the Thule Xtender 739...



Plsd to hear your opinions!

I would guess you could. I would assume Thule made their stuff adjustable to fit any roof rack. You might want to ask Thule though.

Not sure where you plan on getting them from. These do not look like the curent model. Be sure you are getting the brackets that bolt them to your cross bars...
