    I have a 93 honda accord coupe lx (canadian model)

    Been trying to find a ski rack that will fit this and had no luck so far. I
    am hoping to get some recommendations.

    thanx in advance

    I have both Thule and Yakima ski racks for my two cars, but the system I like
    best is simple clip on the passenger's door window system which I think is
    called "hitchhiker" or something like that. I think I paid about US$30 for them
    about ten yeears ago. They take up almost no space when not being used and
    really work. I've taken two pairs skis from VA to Killington with no problem.
    They are a little hard to lock, so I usually take the skis and put them in the
    car if I stop to eat. I've also used them to carry eight-foot 1" X 3" lumber
    with no problem. Also, they fit just about anycar with a roll down window.

    Check http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/fg_vehicle.asp and
    http://www.yakima.com/home.html. They both make good (and somewhat
    pricey) rack systems that will fit your Accord.

    Thule makes amazing roof racks. We had one on a friend's 89 Jetta, and
    two summers in a row we went mountain biking every weekend. The most
    extreme example we drove with three bikes on it for 500km at about
    150km/h without any problems.

    And the bikes were worth more than the car, so we REALLY cared is they
    fell off.

    Go now to Ebay:

    Item number: 7120267539

    There is a brand new one for a buck!

    It is called a "Ski Hiker"

    Enjoy!
