----
The Thule 575 snowboard carrier rooftop rack is an angled side
snowboard carrier designed for ease of installation and
use, as well as a space-saving profile on your roof rack, and
attractive styling that complements any vehicle. Capable of
carrying up to two snowboards of any size, the Thule 575's two
carrier assemblies feature angled board slots. This allows for
easy access to the boards as well as maintains an aerodynamic
profile of boards and bindings. It also leaves plenty of space on
your rack for any additional accessories, such as a cargo box for
extra gear, that you might want to carry. In addition, the angled
profile of the Thule 575 Snowboard Carrier Rooftop Rack allows
for the loading of boards bottom-to-bottom, which protects your
vehicle's finish from possible scratches.
A fully locking, 2-board snowboard carrier that uses minimal
roof space.

Simple Installation and Use
---------------------------
The Thule 575 snowboard carrier rooftop rack features nearly
tool-free installation, requiring only the basic wrench tool and
the hardware supplied. Designed for universal compatibility with
roof racks, this carrier can be used with virtually any roof
rack, including all Thule racks, other brand's round cross bars
and most factory racks. The carrier features angled board carrier
assemblies that attach to load bars via swiveling two-piece
clamps that are partially factory installed to the two carrier
assemblies. Users only need to rotate the top portion of these
out perpendicular to the carrier assemblies and then, after
ensuring that the assemblies are aligned and toward the outer
edge of the vehicle, one on each load bar with the separate
bottom portion of the clamps and the included tamperproof screws.
The carrier is now ready for use.
Rubberized prong arms and ends, along with cable lock hold and
secure boards.

through simple interaction between the three prongs of the
carrier assemblies and a cable locking system within each. The
carrier comes with four board support elements that pinch down
into a smaller form which are then able to be inserted between
the prongs of the carrier assemblies where they are held in place
by ridges. After boards are loaded, these support elements are
used to create an even outer board edge at the top of the
assemblies, allowing for boards of various widths to be
transported together. Boards, whether singly or in a pair, are
loaded into the slots of the carrier assemblies. Next a locking
cable, with a protective sleeve covering it, is strung from the
inner side of the units, across the boards' common edge, and is
attached to a corresponding hole at the site outer edge of
the assemblies and is clamped down. The boards are held in place
by a combination of the cable's pressure and the raised,
rubberized nubs at their ends of the assemblies' prongs. The
cable's tautness can be altered at the inner edge of the carrier
assemblies by using one of three hole options to anchor the
cable. The Thule 575 snowboard carrier rooftop rack ships with
two lock cylinders and keys, one for each carrier assembly, which
together ensure security on the road and when you leave your
loaded vehicle unattended.

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 ally and through
acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in
providing transport solutions for an active life.
