Default luggage racks???

I've been thinking of a rear deck luggage rack for my C5. I have searched the net but nothing comes up for a C5. Does anyone know of a removable rack that is worth while?

I'm a golfer and it's all I can do to get two bags in the trunk with the top down. Sometimes I like to go on golfing trips so I have no more room for clothes bag.

Thanks

I have not seen them either. Maybe you need to find some all nude golf courses!

While it is difficult to find the nude golf course, I have played in the nude.
While my wife would not join me at the time, it just seemed like the right thing to do, July 19, 2008. I did play three holes, tee to green. One more off the bucket list. Now that I got the C5, I've eliminated one more, however the C5 is adding to the list.

I'll see if I can find the pictures and send them to you.

If you can't find them, fabricate them; that's how aftermarket products come into being.

I had one on my MG years ago

Not sure I'd want one on the Vert. it may bring on a tad of wind noise

I didn't play in the nude, but the 3 girl caddies I had in Thailand did !

Oops, got off track as this topic was about racks. None of the 3 caddies had racks either as they were asian !

Haven't seen any luggage racks for the C5. I have to agree that if you want one, you may just have to design and fabricate it yourself.
