Re: [Paddlewise] Thule v Yakima - or NO rack at all

I believe the factory racks for BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen are made by the same
company - large aluminum bars with a slot on top for attachments to slide into.
(mine is BMW)  A kayak attachment is not available, but I've found two solutions
- one with aftermarket saddles and U brackets, and one for Thule stackers.  The
stackers require machining a flat piece of metal to which allen bolts are
screwed into or just removing the metal plates from other rack accessories and
using them.  My cousin works in a machine shop and is making some metal plates
that will fit the stackers exactly.  Let me know if you are interested in either
solution.
