Re: What is roof gutter weight support limit? Like to haul Posted by IrieTom [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: What is roof gutter weight support limit? Like to haul, cal, Thu, 23 May 2002 03:00:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Way back in the '80s, when I purchased my Thule roof rack, I was informed that the rain gutters would break off my roof before the rack failed. The salesman who told me this had been absolutely dead-on with advice regarding ski equipment, so I tend to trust him (unlike most sales-people...)
I have carried skis, snowboards, bicycles, lumber, furniture, and plenty of other stuff up there. No problems so far. Offhand, I think that 500 pounds or more would be risky because the raised center of gravity will screw up your car's handling. Make sure that whatever's up there is secured well.
