GM roof rack and Thule kits

[ebslopp]

I've got a set of 751 rapid rails that clamp directly onto the factory rack. This seems to work fine for bikes, kayaks, and canoes. But I recently purchased a snowboard attatchment that presents a problem. Since the factory rack is not the full length of the roof, I can't get the load bars far enough apart to fit my snowboard with the bindings. The only feasible solution is to purchase the 400xt, fit kit, and a load bar. This is another problem, because it seems you can only purchase the fit kit in a 4-pack and the load bars in a 2-pack. Has anybody found a source of Thule half packs? Or would someone be willing to go halvsies on a 400XT, fit kit, and load bars? The cost of half is $125, plus I'd be willing to sell my extra 751 rapid kit for only like $25!

These are not on the OEM crossbars, they are on the Thule load bars. There is plenty of clearance. But I can't get my bindings in between the two snowboard "clamps". Rather than fight it, I figure I will ditch one of the 751's and get a 400XT mounted load bar to go in the front. This will also allow me to use a fairing to help reduce road noise and I won't have to mount my bikes backwards anymore.

You can see a thread I posted. The fit kit for the doors only comes w/ the set of four. I already had the Q towers for another car, so I cannot say if you can get only two or not, but I get you could. I purchased my components (and those for a Nissan sentra) at Rackattack.com

Thanks for the link. I checked them out and they carry single load bars!!! I will probably be making a purchase from them in the near future.
