What kind of ski / snowboard rack are you using?

I think I'm going to get a ski rack this year. I have been just folding down the rear seats, but I am tired of cleaning out the skis, putting towels down, folding down the seats, etc. Plus, I can carry 4 people.

I'm just looking for ones that attach to the OEM rack. Any suggestions?

I use THULE. I don't know what the specs are on them, but they have worked great for years. They carry X-country skis, regular skis, and my board.

Thule Flat Top 4, both Yakima and Thule make universal racks to fit any bar even factory wing bars. Thules are sold with locks, more info here.
