Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here am I starting this post to ask what is the best option for transport 2 pairs of skis with the assurance that they won't come off in the highway!

I'm looking at the magnetic ones but I'm a little suspicious of their effectiveness. Besides that I'm a little worried to scratch my roofs paint.

On the other hand, Thule doesn't seem to make a fit kit for our beloved car frown

Any advise welcome.
Thanks

If you could tell me how can you use it with 4 adults plus baggage for them, without the adults riding on the roof... I'll use it!

Yes! I know there is one. Yes! I have the manual, which I've read. The topic is for a roof solution, not an interior one... But thanks anyway.

Thanks for the tip Taff

Don't take it too seriously Nelson, you did fail to mention in the original post the Adults and luggage wink

It was just a case of the British sense of humour kicking in smile You would be surprised the ammount of people who do come on here and ask a question like this, without knowing about the hatch ooo laugh

This is what you need to find though.

No harm's done smile and yes, probably it were best to mention all the details up front, but I find odd people doesn't noticing a square in the rear seats when they open the trunk shocked

Thanks a lot for your tip Bob. Think I'm going to phone Fiat now smile

Cheers

If you can't get hold of the proper solution, you can get universal inflatable roofracks that you could lash your skis to.

I've just got back from 2 weeks in Tignes.
Due to my brother and cousin wanting to fly (I usually drive out) we hired a car in Geneva.
We got all three of us in a Mazda 2 with two snowboard bags on the roof.
I used my FCS softrack(approx £60) which I brought for putting my surfboards on hire cars abroard.
It handled the two heavy snowboard bags fine even with the little Mazda flat out !!!
The only down side is the straps run through just above your head and these can let rain past the door seals.

Given the choice though my VW Transporter Kombi is the way to go.It covers big miles with ease.Room for five adults in comfort and as much kit as you want.
It does cost a bit more than a soft rack though.

Next time I think I can talk my brother round to driving as he got stung for £140 excess baggage by easyjet laugh
