Anyone know if this ski rack can be slid both ways (from passenger side and also driver side)? Thanks.

This ski rack can only be slid out one way. Do keep in mind the mount is reversible, and you can mount it such that it will slide out to either the driver OR the passenger side, but will only slide one direction. One other "feature" I discovered about these mounts is that they will only slide out with the racks in the OPEN position. You cannot slide them out and then open them up (or likewise, put your skis in, close them, and slide them in). They have be completely slid in, in order to close & lock them. Otherwise, they do function well and hold lots of stuff!

Think it would depend how you place it on the rack. They slide out only one way, but could be set up to slide out passenger side

No. It only slides in the same direction that it opens (I set it up to be the driver side).,

Yes Marc!It is possible. Just turn the rack to the desire side you want to put the skies from. Passenger or driver side.

This is a great rack. We mount two sets of skis (one at a time--it's tough to get it to close when the skis are paired up). You could easily mount a third set. If you can get it to close with the skis paired up you could fit 4 pairs. With the wide tips and tails of today's skis it can't hold more than that.

On my Jeep Wrangler it was not intuitive and I had to in stall it twice. Install it so the rack will ride vertically, even though th e plate position looks wrong when you do it.

Not sure I understand your question, but ski work great on two wheel walkers and very easy to install.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

It's smooth on both sides. Really wouldn't provide good non-slip on incline - I just use for asphalt parking (stand tends to have a narrow profile)

Yes but not the driver side, the new mat has to be secured down with the safety fastners its for ur safety so the mat wont slip

There are four pieces like the one pictured, and a bar that goes between each pair. Passenger Front, Passenger Rear, Driver Front, Driver Rear. It will hold two snowboards on the passenger side, and two on the driver side. It will hold more skis because they aren't as wide. I use it on my Nissan Rogue.

It is pretty wide and should be able to. We have wide skis and can fit 2 pair and 2 snowboards. It is really nice.

the way it is set up all the openings for sliding things in are pointed to the left or towards the back. So yes. in fact I never thought of puting it on the passenger side but on my commuter car it makrs sense. i was worried about the impact on the radar detector but there is none.

Yes. We've used it both ways and it's no problem to install. You just move the strap from front to back.

The passenger and driver doors do not slide open. The back door does open and close by sliding up and down. I hope this properly answers your question.

There is nothing mentioned about the tailgate being restricted while the skis are attached to the vehicle. I would be careful for the first time just to make sure. The installation instructions do not show the skis as overhanging the rear of the vehicle.

If your rack is placed on your automobile securely there should be no problem driving at freeway speeds. Check at Yakima website for correct rack for your auto. Also check YouTube for proper installation. Thanks,Leo.

Depending on how much space is between the bars, you can sometimes slide it right on like normal. We have also put the bike so the bar sits on top I'd this. When doing that the back tire sticks up in the air while the front tire is nose down. Carrying more than one girls bike we alternate directions of the bikes so they fit better. Seems more secure when we have at least 1mens bike in the rack, not all women's, but even then, we have been able to stabilize with a bungee cord.

I have a roof rack on my SUV. Attached it to the rack and had no issues with it sliding. Had it for a trip on the road for 4+ hours and it rained most of the trip.

Yes, the rack I have is adjustable. You can slide them forward or backward to accommodate your load.
