Thule Universal Pull Top 6pr W/locks 92726
The Thule 92726 universal pull top carrier is an ideal option for transporting skis and snowboards when used with virtually any existing rooftop rack and vehicle type. The carrier has a maximum capacity of 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards. It is very quick to install through the integrated SpeedLink mounting system, and utilizes innovative pull top telescoping functionality that slides skis and boards from the top of the roof to side of the car. Additional features include ultra-soft rubber arms that grip without scratching, the ability to secure skis and the carrier to roof racks and compatibility with water-skis, wakeboards and fishing rods.

Sliding Pull Top Access to Skis and Snowboards
The Thule 92726 universal pull top ski and snowboard carrier is designed to provide easy rooftop stowage and access for up six pairs of skis or four snowboards – or even combinations of both. Its 30″ wide loading platform attaches to the load bars of existing roof racks, securely clamping down and releasing at the touch of an oversized button. Skis and boards are securely held by ultra-soft rubber arms that grip without scratching their surfaces. The one-push button mechanism of the 92726 makes it effortless to open, even when wearing gloves. Once open, the carrier also utilizes further innovative access functionality in the form of pull top telescoping arms that allow skis and boards to slide from the top of the roof to side of the car. Through this users can easily get to them, no matter what kind of vehicle the carrier is mounted on, or how tall the user is. The carrier arms also feature One-Key locks positioned just below the arm release buttons. These locks provide users with the confidence they need to leave skis and boards on the carrier while temporarily away from your vehicle, and fast single key access when they return.
Single soft rubber arms that clamp down without scratching surfaces.

Installation and Security with the SpeedLink Mounting System
As with earlier releases in Thule’s product line of universal ski and snowboard carriers, the 92726 is designed to be compatible with virtually any existing roof rack, including all Thule rack systems, round bars and most factory racks. The 92726 takes ease of use and installation even further through its use of the SpeedLink mounting system. Its two carrier assemblies each have two mounting hardware pieces integrated into their lower edges. This hardware is composed of a rugged plastic bracket with a heavy-duty rubber T-strap hanging down from one end. To mount the carrier assemblies to rack load bars the plastic brackets are rotated from their inline position to a 45-degree angle to the bar. The rubber strap is then wrapped under the load bar with the T-end placed into a pocket on the opposite end of the bracket. This process is repeated on the other three spots where brackets contact load bars. Tightening knobs on the plastic brackets are then turned to secure the carrier assemblies. This hold is further secured with Thule One-Key locks built into to brackets, which secure the carrier and its held contents to the roof rack.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn’t long before he added other practical items to the company’s portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.

Great Rack Easy to install, mostly easy to load, and keeps the twigs totally secure. The manual recommended the ski tips in the back, which for my vehicle can potentially get tangled up with the rear hatch when it’s open. That’s not Thule’s fault, more the vehicle manufacturers placement of the racks. But do be mindful of the ski tips when using a hatchback for the first few times. Like some of the other reviewers, I also got the problem of the slides being a bit difficult to move after a few weekends…
This rack setup is very easy to use. First time install onto my factory cross rails took about 10 minutes. Easily fits 4 snowboards. Luckily the crossbars on a ’12 Traverse are pretty high off the roof, so I didn’t have to worry about the bindings, but you may have to get creative if your rails are closer to the car roof.The best thing about this set up is that when we got to the mountain, we just hit the button and popped the arms open to get the boards out. Then, at the end of the…
I picked this up a few months back to allow us to throw our skis up top and make room for other items in the Suburban for road trips. We’ve used it a few times this year and love it. I really like how you can stand at the side of the truck and remove your skis. Can’t imagine how it would be with a fixed rack and having to crawl up on top to get everything set. The design makes it very easy to install and remove. Our suburban is our weekend adventure vehicle. With the rack on top I can…
