Roof racks, that is!

I'm looking at getting a Thule roof rack and snowboard/ski carrier, but want to make sure I understand this correctly.

I need to first get the Thule roof rack system. There is the regular system and the rapid aero system, what is the difference and is the aero system worth the extra price? And then I want the Thule Universal Flat Top 6 so I can carry up to 4 snowboards.

I also need to get a fairing, correct?

Is there anything else I would need? What do the locks actually secure?

Info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

And I can't help you with the snowboards as that is the wrong way to be doing it.

&lt;says that out loud as I type this and gets random things thrown at him by snowboarding coworkers&gt;

and I too was a skier for 15-16 years, but last december I went snowboarding for the first time and I have been converted.

At least for the forseeable furture.

I didn't know factory bars were available on sedans. Thanks.

(pronounced: Too'ley) Used to love when people would call the bike shop looking for Thhh-ool racks.

Anyway, main reason is I like the rectangular load bars over the round ones on Yakima racks...
