Rhino roof racks A little story to tell...

[JClarke]

This happened in early October but still apologise for the late story writing.... but it would be more better off if you guys are more aware of this:

Some of you may know that I have purchased rhino racks and Thuke bike carriers in the past year for my 2009 WS Fiesta, and I also purchased another thule bike carrier onto my racks a week before...in October.

I had two mountain bikes locked with in the thule bike carriers, on my car, and I was travelling home from the south coast NSW - and unfortunately, have experienced a interesting but freak accident with the racks itself. I was travelling 80km after pelting rain and winds --- the racks along with the carriers and bikes of course came ripping off my car roof.

There was no stratches on my car roof of course, but the roof racks, carriers and my bike (my girlfriend's got spared) was destroyed. Lucky, there was no cars behind me, when the incident happened, It was real scary to see this happen, it seems that it wasn't professionally tightned. Right now, I have submited a warranty claim to have these replaced as these items, espeically come to bike carrier I purchase one week earlier has also been destroyed. All come together $700 in the past year I spent to transport my bikes. Right now, I am still waiting for the replacement and my car is feelin' naked so as we speak :-/

Just letting youse know of this, come across if you have similar racks as mine, ensure it is nice and tight ...and of course secured safetly.
