Roof Rack
I don't know if any of you guys have ever been into recreating with your beautiful SVX, but I would like to be able to take a bike or pair os skis along with me. Yakima and Thule don't make racks for the SVX (as far as I could find out via REI), but I'd heard of others finding racks. Does anyone know where I could find a general use rack for my 92 LS-L?
Thanks Garrison |

Those racks work with a tower, and then a clip that is car-specific. Any one clip may fit a wide variety of different cars. Chances are that there is a clip available that is a perfect fit for the SVX, it would just take someone with the patience to go through and test them out.

racks
i just went through the same search. yak and thule will not work. Rola makes a compatible setup, but it can be a real bugger to get here in the states. yak and thule though make trunk mount systems for bikes that will work even with the spoiler. as far as skis, you might end up SOL. yakima made a magnetic rack for snow boards during the 90's that works great, but nothing for skis.

Rola
Rola Roof Rack is an Australian company. They have one US importer (based in the LA area). They can be reached at 562-776-8664. They are a small operation and only deliver COD, so it can be a pain to order from them. I have the ski attachments and have just ordered the bike rack attachments. I love the Rola Roof rack. I went through the roof rack search about 8 months ago and Rola was the only one custom fit to the SVX. The only other one I found was from Barrecrafters (www.barrecrafters.com), but it is one that fits many different vehicles and looks terrible.
Here's the Rola website: http://www.rola.com.au/ Here's some pics I took of my car with the roof rack on: http://community.webshots.com/album/22919010cqsEHBiPhv Cheers, Matt |

a little help---maybe
i was just look around the net and i fell into a really good picture of what the roof rack would look like-www.svx.com- the site in all in another language, but maybe you'll be able to find the parts off of that.

I also noticed a friend of mine has a ski rack on his acura that seems to hang on the passenger door. The skis then mount to the rack along the side of the car. I'll look into that as well. Perhaps it's a universal application.
