Ski Racks

Does anyone make ski racks for a C5 convertible? When I had my 71 I had some nice ones made by Mohn. I have not seen any sort of racks.

It's 500 miles to Lake Tahoe and it's no fun to drive my pickup that far.

OK,

No FLAMES please....

....but I used these on my 96 AWD TalonTsi so I would guess they would also work on a Vette Coupe.

The rack consists of two mounts that use a lever operated suction to adhere to the body or glass. Mine will hold two pairs of skis.......or other long straight items.
I do not have a pic, but they worked fine on my Talon through several ski seaons........never let go

Here is a video link

and I found one set on ebay . Search Item number: 300189847410

Never seen any for a C5. But the ones in the video posted by jrprich might do the trick.

Another way to go is to mount a hitch: <http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=40460&dept%5Fid=1406 > OR <http://www.drawtite-hitches.com/products/Sportframe_Hitch,24658>
and then a ski or bike rack: <http://www.a1-autoracks.com/hitch-mounted-ski-racks.html>
Good luck!
