The gf is a big biker and wants to take some bikes up to VT next weekend. Any suggestions?

Default Saw this in Montreal. Illinois plates. Not the best shot of the rack.

Default Try Yakima's Q Towers...
...Thule has it's own system (400XTR Rapid Aero). I prefer the Yakima setup. These are both universal systems.

Can't speak to Audi's bike rack...proably would never use.

Both companies also make solid trunk mounted solutions if your ok with that type of setup.

Default No tabs in the rain channels, but the B6/B7 A4/S4 rack works...

Ahhh, I never looked there. I guess my concern is damage to the paint.

Default I have a piece of clear bra put underneath where the feet of the rack go...
then after the ski season I remove it. But if you will be using it randomly keeping it on isn't a big deal.

Thule as a rack that fits too. Clear bra under the feet is a must!
