: Kurt: I recently purchased the Saris racks and the watersport carriers for a
: VW Golf GTI. They fit my kayak well (multi-chined).

: The reason I got the Saris instead of Thule or Yakima is that you can
: *easily* put on and take off the Saris racks. I really didn't want racks
: semi-permanently installed on my car because of the noise and lower gas
: mileage. I can get both racks on my car in 5 minutes or less, and off in 2
: minutes, so I only put them on when I need them. I leave the watersports
: cradles attached to the racks, since they the whole deal is only on the
: car when I need to transport my kayak.

Hi Tom,

Do you have an address or web site for the Saris roof racks.

John

: They look nice, and appear well made, but I haven't had them long enough to
: vouch for longevity.

: I recommend them if you are looking for racks that are truly removable.
