Do you think it would be okay to use on a soft top convertable ? WIllcushioning take the pressure from the weight of the board off the soft top ?

I don't think it would work well. And the entire system is secured to the vehicle with straps that go through the car. With soft top there would seem to be weak points that could comprise the integrity of the rack and car top.

It would ok but not ideal...It's better than nothing... Your really going to have to sinch it up tight to not have it vibrate. Be careful it doesn't damage your soft top..

Personally I would not use the top for a cutting board--especially considering the vast variety of cutting boards available in styles, sizes and prices--I think the wood a touch too soft for that use, though I believe it could be used in such a fashion. I purchased a cutting board that fits over the top like it belongs there.

It would be uncomfortable because the board is pretty long and heavy compared to a skateboard so I wouldn't recommend it but it can be done.

Either way would work fine, as long as when you strap the board down, there is something the straps can securely hold onto during travel.

Yes I do. I used this for my son's spinning board (AKA astronaut board). He weighs 38 lbs and as long as he's centered on it correctly it spins perfect. The board is long to accommodate his length as he has to lay down for this activity and that is why it gets off balance sometimes. If your top is the same size as the base you shouldn't experience this problem. Good Luck.

It would work fine... I would just roll over the top a few times before I secured it to the top!

Probably doesn't matter. I just used them on the support top, and it worked well.

It would work directly mounted onto the wood drop through or top mounted, it all depends how you want the board to ride

The potential problem I can see is that it would not clamp quite as tight with the thinner board to the row below. If it doesn't clamp good and tight to the row below you will have to be careful in setting the next row on the guages and check a lot to make sure they don't get bumped down and out of alignment as you set your boards on the guages. If it is an issue I can see using some shims to make up the 1/16" difference where you set the guages. Hope it helps.

I would not - it would probably bend and become useless unless you were careful with the fulcrum point. I would use something heavier or dig it out first.

Yes, should not be a problem, I moved and no longer needed mine so I gave it to a friend that is using it for the same purpose.

that is how I used it. Just put it a little higher, if you can. I put something under it, like a board, or sometimes nothing. It works well.

That's a brilliant idea! I would think so. Measure the surface size of your glass top and compare the size of the board see how it covers. This board works on both sides.

You probably could. You might want to clamp a wider board in the jaws to support whatever is being out-fed. Or you could clamp a roller in the jaws and use that as your outfeed support.

I believe so. The top snaps into the sides and back, so it should still work. It just wouldn't be as solid.

We attached one board as shown. Then we put the second board on top staggered to deal with the fin of the bottom board and strapped them together with a roof strap. We put a small towel as a cushion between the fin and the top board. If you have a smooth surface to travel over this will work fine. If you are going over deep soft sand it will be more difficult. The only problem we have had was the weight on the cross bar between the wheels. Ours has bent a bit (our boards are 28 lbs each) but it still works fine.

It should be not too bad to get over. Just put it in the high setting and tilt it back. If all fails you could just make a ramp with some boards.
