Have any of you aspiring Avant owners looked for/found aftermarket cross-member ski racks?

Thule and Yakima both make racks, but...
The thing to remember is how high you want the rack to sit. The Thule rack, which I have on my Avant, sit very low. I have to be careful when I go skiing because my bidings can touch the roof if I don't close the ski racks right. The Yakima, like Neil had, sits about an inch high then the Thule.
It's personal preference. I prefer the lower stance of the Thule, but I do have to watch what/how I put things on. I will transfer my rack to my S4 Avant the day I get it.

Hey Rick...you should get the angled ski carrier...
