Default Bike Rack

Does anyone have a suggestion to transport bikes (2) on a 90 C4 cabrio?

The rain gutters can hold a Thule bike rack, but it looks a little silly. Garage the Porsche and buy an SUV.

You can go into any REI store and pick up what you need. I like Thule, but for the Porsche, Yakima is easier, the bars are round, not square, and that makes it a lot easier to fit.


Here is what you need.
2 Yakima Feet (for rain gutters, generic item)
2 Cross bars (check the length, but I think that I bought 36"
Whatever bike rack you wish to fit on top. Best to stick with Yakima.

The cost will be about $125 for the bars a and feet, and $75 to $275 for the bike rack.

PET lists a roof rack for Cabrio. I wonder what it looked like?

Default If you ask on Rennlist...

You may be rewarded. Today in the Marina district of San Francisco.

I can't believe I caught this! Cell phone photos, so sorry about the quality. Spoke with the owner, he had no problems that I was standing there taking photos. Not only was it a 964 Cabrio, but it is a C4!!!

He got the Rhode Gear bike rack from a buddy of his and has no problems except for a little bit of paint rubbing off of the third brake light stem. He said he should have put something on there to protect it, but it was too late--about the size of a quarter rubbed off. The wing moves up and down without an issue.
