Roof Rack Snowboard Mount Question

[joshua927]

Well, I was a HUUUUUGE Mazda/Ford skeptic, but I gotta say this car has won me over. I test drove it few times and it drives like a 50k luxury SUV. Woot!

I have the Mazda OEM roofrack and the crossbar. I am planning to add a snowboard mount to it. I found these options from www.prolineracks.com.

1. http://www.prolineracks.com/sportrack-abr456dl-snowboard-ski-racks.html
2. http://www.prolineracks.com/mont-blanc-65100-ski-racks.html
3. http://www.prolineracks.com/proline-summit-6-ski-racks-728.html

My questions are.

1. Will they fit my existing Mazda OEM crossbar?
2. Are they reliable brand?

I am new to this side of car accessories and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Again, thanks in advance!~

We have the MontBlanc aero crossbar set from Proline and am VERY happy with it. Much more load carrying than the factory crossbars, and fit around-bar and T channel accessories. I'm sure the quality of the MontBlanc SB rack is the same, and of the 3 you listed I think it looks the best. My 2 cents. should fit the Mazda crossbars just fine.

if i had known about the mont blanc crossbars, i wouldn't have purchased the mazda oem cross bars. Oh well...

Any more suggestions? How do the other two fare in comparison to the Mont Blanc snowboard mount?

I don't snowboard.
