Thule Ski Racks
Thule's newer ski racks, 91725 6-pr are designed to be universal fit,
but it seems to me that they are no longer lockable to the load bars as the former 725 models were. Instead, they use a "tamperproof" screw (doesn't this mean tamperproof to anyone except those other Thule owners that have the tool?). Also, seems the 91725 already includes the lock cylinders, a waste if you plan on using your own 1-key lock cylinders. Am I reading all this correctly? |

The Thule unit I have for my SAAB takes quite awhile to unbolt from the roof. Maybe that is what tamperproof means since you are not going to store your skis on top for long when not in car. Dan, are the feet of your rack riveted on? Looks to me like you could break the rivet and use the old bar clamp-ons for Thule square bars. Makes me wonder why Thule didn't attach these "universal" feet with fasteners to give more install options. |
