Ski rack for 2007 Chevy HHR



Customer Question: I am looking for a ski rack that will attach to the factory installed front to back siderails on my 2007 Chevy HHR.


I wondered if your SportRack Abr53dl ski rack will do the trick??


Thanks for your time responding to my query.


Racks for All Response:


Unfortunately the ABR53DL won’t work for the HHR – you need to build a base rack system then add a ski rack.


I have recommended a popular all-in-one Thule base rack and ski rack for you:


Thule Complete CrossRoad System - 50 inch bar


Qty: x 1



Thule Universal FlatTop 6

Ski Rack for 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee



Customer Question:

Hi, we have a 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo without any type of roof rack or brackets at all. We are interested in purchasing one and want to know the options. Thank you.




Racks for All Recommendation:


The Grand Cherokee without factory racks or rails is hard to fit. If you are willing to do some light drilling, or take the Jeep to a body shop, you could have this rack installed:

Or you could buy the rack from the Jeep dealer at a much higher cost.

Then you could pick from any of our ski racks that are universal mounting, such as the Thule Universal Pull Top:
