Hey guys my birthday is next Friday and my parents want to get me a ski rack for my car cause I always have to put down my back seat to put my skis in. What brand ski rack should I get I heard Thule is the best?

Do you have bars?

I have an inno and it's great.  Thule, yakima Inno all work about the same.  I think rhino makes racks too they're supposed to be pretty good.

If you buy a thule/yakima remember you're paying a bit more for the name.

though i would personally never get one unless i had a very small car, i would rather spend the 10 seconds to fold down my seats than get all the gravel/crap thrown up from the road on my skis and have decreased mileage.

I don't mind putting my seats down but I just don't have room for friends in the back!
