which models from the Thule product line do you have? The configurator from their website recommended the 358 (raingutters) with 58" rods. Will these work on my 89-900s 4 dr sedan? Will the snowboard attachment or rack be running across my beloved sun roof? I saw another ad online somewhere for a similar rack, without locks going for $50. That's 1/3 the price of a THULE or Yakima. Wandering how reliable they are though. I am thinking primarily of my snowboards for now.
