I struggle with any type of rear spoiler, let alone the BBQ grille.

Hamburgers anyone?

Not that far fetched if hot enough.

So do you have to remove the luggage each time you need to access the trunk?
Kinda PITA imho.

... the BBQ grille.

I understand equating this ‘pinnacle of style and design‘ luggage rack to a BBQ... because it absolutely...

Brings.

The.

!!!HEAT!!!

I’ll take a luggage rack.

Unsure about this one…

Some days I like it, and some days I‘m not that enthused.
My MGB came with one, and I can’t say I‘ve ever used it, but then again the MG is spacious when compared to the Sky.

I will say this-every time I want to clay bar or wax the car, I have to remove it to do any kind of a good job.
That gets a little old.

My '70 MGB had one also. Looked nice but i never once used it for luggage and I'd probably feel the same way about an original 'luggage rack' on my Sky.

I would take a pass on the luggage rack…not really a fan of carrying luggage, bicycles or skis strapped to the outside of a vehicle. Had a defective Yakima bicycle rack years ago….

Interesting comments about the luggage rack. I'm in favor of leaving all of those extras off of the SKY. The comment about detailing the SKY and having to take the luggage carrier off, would be a show stopper for me. As many have said, it doesn't do anything for the original style that makes it so popular.

There is a need for luggage space, which we added to ours when we bought it 10 years ago. I always tell people that the reason to have the trailer is: "My wife likes to take her purse along." I figure I have about $800 dollars after upgrading in the car top unit and trailer, all used. Bought new DOT rated tires, new taillight kit, and body shop matching paint. We use it on out of town trips and it holds a lot more than a luggage rack. Golf clubs fit. GM doesn't recommend trailers, but the Curt Manufacturing 1" receiver trailer hitch, made for a SKY, is hardly noticable without the trailer. Keeping the trailer in mind when on the Interstates can be a problem, I forget it is back there.

I have given thought to a hitch mounted storage box. I have not been able to find something that is sized appropriate for the Sky, yet meet our specific need. I am leaning toward having something welded-up to mount a 48 gallon Rubbermaid ActionPacker.

It wouldn't be pretty, just functional to accommodate two sets of golf clubs. The few longest clubs would still have to be stored in the Sky trunk.

Picnic anyone?

I’ve seen cars with these at our club…

Thanks for the reply. The problem with that type of carrier, is the clubs would be a lot taller than the car. With the ActionPacker idea, we could travel overnight with some type of tamper-resistance.

Understood. I saw people carrying their clubs in the same hard case they used when transporting the clubs on an airplane.

I'd pay eleventeen to twenty five bucks for one depending if it was painted to match...

 

[RedOne07]

I pay 100 percent more.

Saw one on a Facebook classified listed for I think 1100…I don’t know if they negotiated down but it sold.

That’s right up there with the handful of beans for the cow…

Be awesome to have one.
