As we're just about at the end of the regular ski season I brought my skis home today. The roof rack went on pretty easily. It was set a tiny bit too narrow for the width of my car but that was an easy adjustment. The handle on the tool that tightens up the rack bolts also serves as a nice tool for lifting up the rubber pieces and metal attachment points in the roof.
I didn't get a proper ski carrier as they weren't available at the time. However, this set up works so well I may not bother with one for next winter.
