Mike Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hey guys, Just got into snowboarding this winter and was wondering if anybody makes a roof rack for our cars. I drive an 89 Cutlass Coupe. I noticed that it does not have any rain gutters, nothing really for the roof rack to mount to... Any suggestions? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990lumina Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Do you have a rear pass thru in the backseat to the trunk? Some of the cars do. Might be easier to swap rear seats rather then add a roof rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be easier to swap rear seats rather then add a roof rack. At one point I needed to haul around a lot of construction materials (before I lowered the car). To accomplish this, I took out the back seats, emptied the trunk, and basically carried around 500+ pounds of materials in the back of my Regal. It was fun.

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE PICS OF MY LUMINA WITH A VERT DOOR INSIDE? p.s xtremerevolution got to see first hand my 92 vert with two vert doors inside. I had to remove the T-handle to operate the shifter it was soooo tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1cutlass Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yakima. We sell it at the bike shop i work at. Great stuff cannot go wrong with it. It looks like you would spend about $450 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synistershadows Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 what about those of us who need that back seat and trunk space yet still need to haul the boards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logikf1ve Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 what about those of us who need that back seat and trunk space yet still need to haul the boards? Buy a quad cab truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremerevolution Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 what about those of us who need that back seat and trunk space yet still need to haul the boards? Get a temporary trunk rack, or if you like the way the stock trunk racks look, get one, paint it to match your car, and install it. Problem solved.

1990lumina Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 what about those of us who need that back seat and trunk space yet still need to haul the boards? Get one of the rear seats that allows a pass thru. I think every first gen have the provision cut out in the rear and even the sound deadening carpet has the provisions marked on it.

synistershadows Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 all impractical for me i already have the cut out in the rear seats but its not big enough for my snowboard and i have my sound system back there with SOME trunk space left over but not alot dont have the cash for a new vehical and to be honest i hate trunk racks with a passion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure they would work since ya got big doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
