I am SURE that THULE has something for you. http://www.thule.com Cool website! There is a page that you can browse by sport Bike, Snow, Water (that's your for your Canoe), etc. SaabGuy >> I'm in the market for a rack (more for canoes, etc.) for my 97 900se. >> Any tipsor recommendations to keep in mind from this knowledgeable [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >SaabGuy Very nice site, I never knew there were so many options. ~GJ~ >>> I'm in the market for a rack (more for canoes, etc.) for my 97 900se. >>> Any tipsor recommendations to keep in mind from this knowledgeable [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Very nice site, I never knew there were so many options. Yeah! Keep it Swedish! The "Thule" labelled spoiler for infront of the rack looks good on a SAAB 8) Paul > >>> I'm in the market for a rack (more for canoes, etc.) for my 97 900se. > >>> Any tipsor recommendations to keep in mind from this knowledgeable [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Paul Paul, Yep, it is Swedish and that black "vent" is called a Fairing. :) SaabGuy > I'm in the market for a rack (more for canoes, etc.) for my 97 900se. > Any tipsor recommendations to keep in mind from this knowledgeable > group as far as brands or style?? > ~GJ~ There are really only 2 choices in high quality add-on rack sysytems. Thule and Yakima. I prefer Yakima myself, but they are both good racks and are priced closely. -Fred W The factory rack is made by Thule and is superior to the aftermarket Thule racks available through other retailers. The factory bars actually mount in brass ferrules under the door weatherstrip on your car so a) there are no rubber pads resting on the paint and b) it is locked to the car when the car is locked. The standard square bars fit all things Thule (and many Yakima too). It is even priced about the same as the aftermarket Thule stuff. > I'm in the market for a rack (more for canoes, etc.) for my 97 900se. > Any tipsor recommendations to keep in mind from this knowledgeable > group as far as brands or style?? > ~GJ~ I got a set of factory Saab roof racks for the GM900 body for the right price - free! A Saab shop was about to throw out a previously owned set and I showed up at the right time. I have three roof rack sets for the Classic body style - easy because it has real rain gutters and generic roof racks fit. I only have one Classic 900 now, but that is subject to change :-) > The factory rack is made by Thule and is superior to the aftermarket Thule > racks available through other retailers.
