Default Luggage Rack

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm looking at 1995 convertible and am wondering if anyone makes a luggage rack that would allow a golf bag be tied down on it. From the pictures I've seen, they all look like ornamentation and not very functional. TIA

Here’s a close up picture of my 93 Vert. We used it to hold 2 bag chairs for a 2 hour trip to Sioux Falls. It has bungee mounting holes built into it.

Thanks guys. My concern is, from the looks of those, what would stop the wind from blowing the bag over the single bar at the back of the rack and allowing the bag to hit the back of the car by the lights.

That's why you would use bungies to hold it down, laying the bag cross ways on the rack. Just make sure you have a bag with a good snap on cover to keep the clubs inside.

Any other luggage rack will not be any better, the posts from all the above forum members are correct.

As a side note, to KMS, I have a Quasar Blue Metallic Vert also. I sue like your white interior ,,, kinda rare!

I think there's one more thing that should be noted: availability. After I bought my 86 I looked for one - suckers are not to be found anywhere. Factory quit them years ago and no aftermarket company sells them from what I can find. Good luck finding one, I didn't.

I'd like to get one for my 94 vert too. There was ONE on eBay a few days ago. Seller wanted $1,000 for it! Might be a market here if the price was reasonable

I hear complaints from many that have cars equipped with the factory units. Consider placing a wanted to buy ad in the C4 parts section. Plugging the holes keep most from removing them. If you run into someone preparing to repaint their vert, you might find a seller. Good luck.
