I went with the genuine...love it- swings out of the way- carries Skis and Snowboards works great.

What kind of rack are you looking for?

I love my roof mounted Yakima for me, but for my parents they have a hitch Yakima that also swings out of the way!!

Look into Yakima, Thule, and Rocky Mounts you will find cheaper prices and the quality is the same!

You may want to see the thread "Does any one know anything about Rovercity.com" the post says they have good prices on bike racks....maybe it will help?

I looked far and wide for a great bike rack, hands down the one from the dealer is the best. $450.00 is actually a descent price compared to what they sell for at the bike shops. I love the swing away with my Disco II and its so easy to get the bikes on and off of.

I'm just about to buy a landrover swing bike rack from rovercity. They have them priced at $325.00 and the tow hitch at $283.00............Total with shipping to Pa $650.00. I just hope that they dont screw me. I sent a message the other day that if any one knows anything about this company to please let me know. I've got screwed on a couple on line purchases and I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again. Also another cheap place I found online was lrparts.dealerfit.com----$377.12.......those are the best prices I've seen. Good luck I aslo have the Yakima bars on the top but on the highway they make a lot of noise........forget opening the sunroof if you have the yakima bars.......its louder than hell.

Don't have that problem with mine, do you have a fairing or anything up there or just the bars?
