: Hey Dave,

: Well, at least it looks a little nicer in this pic!

: Looks easy enough to make one... I suppose that you already had the bars, so
: that part of the design was probably simple enough... Looks good, though!
: How long have you been using it? Is it weathering/aging well?

: cheers!

Charles,

The rack is OEM (original equipment manufacturer i.e. Ford) and came with the car. The cross bars come off eastly so I remove them with the cradles attached when not in use. The cradles are finished with epoxy and spar varnish and should hold up to the weather but I just don't leave them out.

Dave
