My makeshift ski rack above was a bit flimsy and not very smooth looking. However, I had a Thule ski/snowboard rack in the garage, fitted with brackets to fasten them to old school crossbars/roof racks.
I have played with the thought to remove said brackets and maybe drill a hole and use all four cups from the SeaSucker Talon bike rack. The vacuum cups have screw inserts in them and are screwed to whatever rack type you have. And what a piece of luck!! When I removed the Thule brackets they left a hole fitting perfectly. Just used a longer bolt and screwed the SeaSucker cups to the underside.
Looks a whole lot better now. And it cost me zero!
