Where to buy cheap roof carrier?
It's winter time! Since I just got this car in June, I dont have anything to carry my snowboards yet.

Basic Roof Carrier cost $286 and Snowboard Carrier cost $100 from M-Benz dealer, that is absolutely too much!!

Does anyone know where else can I find cheaper parts for carrying snowboards ?

yes. try yakima and thule. personally, I like thule better. Their new 2004 hardware looks better and rides a little lower than the yakima stuff. do a search here for 'roof rack', I posted pictures of my ML350 with thule crossbars and a bvg carrier. they're a fraction of the cost. I got mine from Sports Rack in Walnut Creek, CA.
