In Response To: Rack issue solved... (Robert N Pruden)

: I found a dealer who sold me a kit to convert my old Thule so that it will
: fit the '07 Accord...and only for $90 CAD (includes clasps and rubber
: pads), otherwise it would have cost me over $300 for a new set of bars and
: towers. That said, I spent good $$$'s anyway...bought a Yakima extender
: bar and kayak saddles that will fit the Thule rack. I feel happier if not
: a little lighter in the wallet.

Hi Robert,

Sometime when you have your rack on your car could you post a close up picture of the clip with the door opened so I could see how it fits in conjunction with your rubber door seal. I have never see a real factory made rack system. My home made clip squeezes the door seal and rain can get in, in a hard rain but I don't see any other way to mount it on my Ford Contour. Outside of that problem I have logged in thousands of miles with no other problems.
