[s-cars] Avant Cross Bars

[SJ]

I just happen to have a Yakima ski rack for sale. 3B Ski mount.
Locking cable included. Also included is the bike rack mountings for two
bikes - front fork locking mount type.

The mounting is for a car with gutters. However, you may be able to purchase
a different type mounting hardware.

Excellent condition . . . hardly used.

Let me just say for the record, as a heretofore loyal Thule owner,
that for at least the past 7 years, Yakima has made MUCH higher
quality stuff (most visible and important in the bike racks; check the
ski racks yourself).  It's a little more expensive, but I think
probably well worth it, especially since these things will last a
lifetime (the Yakima ones, at least ;) and you'll take all but the fit
kit to your next car.

I got Thule for my 1990 200TQA, because I didn't yet realise the
extent of the quality difference, and because Yakima claims that their
crossrail clamp doesn't fit my car.  Has anyone had any luck mounting
Yakima racks to the small-diameter cylindrical roof rails found on
older Audis?  I doubt it'd be hard; I just haven't tried - ideas
welcome!
