Anyone have the instructions for the sliding ski rack?

[SeoulMan]

Hi all. Our car finally arrived from Korea and just in the nick of time. Heard some of the slopes were going to open around my area...Anyway, my dealer threw in the sliding ski rack (part#: 8682093) but not the instructions on how to mount it onto the cross bars. Was wondering if anyone out there could perhaps fax/e-mail/post it for me? Thanks in advance, -SM

SM,

Given the fact that the OEM racks are made by Thule, I also wonder if the Volvo sliding ski rack is simply based on the Thule version? If so, there is an installation/loading demo on Thule’s website. Looks identical IMO. :)

Mounting kits are available for both Volvo/Thule depending on which version of load bar you're currently using.

I just called Barrier Volvo in Southcenter and they have no stock number for a mounting bracket on the oval cross bars. They stated the mounting bracket for the wing-style bars may work on the oval bars. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have the sliding ski rack mounted on the oval bars?

Thanks all, -brian
