Default Snowboard carriers for 2010 RX350

Hi everyone!

With the winter season upon us, I was wondering what snowboard carriers/snowboard racks people are using/recommending for their RX. I'm in the market for one and was curious about my fellow RX'ers experiences.

I've got a 2010 RX350 with the side bars and cross bars already installed. Looking to hold (2-4 snowboards) this season.

The one's I've looked at so far are:
  • Thule Universal FlatTop 6 Rack
  • Yakima Big PowderHound
  • Inno Nexess Ski/Snowboard Rack

All of these should mount to the factory crossbars and hold max 4 snowboards.

Anybody have any positive experiences with these or any recommendations from other manufacturers? My concerns are fitment and security.

Thanks!

i'ev been using the thule flattop 6, the one that slides out. my rx didn't come equipped w/ the rack, so i'll need to get the fit kit for the rails. when i had them on my previous FX and my father in laws RX, the bindings ended up being very close to the roof. so when the dealer offered me a model w/o the cross bars i went for it knowing i could use my own.

I had a Big Powderhound, and ended up switching to the Yakima FatCat 6. The FatCat6 is a bit more streamlined in design, and I felt they held the boards a bit better. Also a little easier to use the angled prop up on one side so that you can clear the bindings of the upside down boards.
