Re: Surco Urban Rack
The little guys is there for unloading. I lay down up there so that there are no clearance issues. Just don't tell his mother!
I can take some pics this week. Its raining hard here at the moment. Surco recommented a wider size (50x60), but that is to go with their crossbars. I went with the 45in width so that I coud use the Humer crossbars that came with the H3.
If you have the H3 crossbars, you will note that accessories attach to the channel in the crossbars. You just slide out the rubber piece. Its my understanding that's also how the factory rack attaches. Once the Surco rack is assembled, you just slide the rack and the floors slats into the crossbars. There are square shaped bolts that slide into the channels. Just tighten up the bolts and good to go. I had to adjust it all once due to the fact that the H3 crossbars lock only into certain notches in the rack rails. My adise is just to keep everything loose until you mount the rack.
Went with this rack for 2 reasons:
1. needed a lower prifile rack so thatI could still fit in the garage; and
2. its made of black powder coated aluminum.
Here in the northeast there is alot of salt on the readsin the winter and previous stell racks eventually rusted.
