Here are some more information for Windshield Ski:

If you live in a place where it snows at some point during the year, then you know that it takes a lot of work to drive anywhere in the winter time. Not only do you need to bundle up in warm clothes just to go outside, but you need to be prepared for inclement weather: ice scrapers, all-weather floor mats, proper windshield washer fluid, rubber cargo liners, snow tires and chains...the list goes on and on. Are you a snowboarder, skier, or snowmobiler? If you live any sort of an active lifestyle in the winter, then you know all these things are just the details. You know that you need some serious gear to deliver you, your friends and all their equipment to the great outdoors in comfort and style. With gas prices being as high as they've been, many have made the switch to a smaller, more economic vehicle. The unfortunate trade off here is the amount of cargo space. Can you no longer get all you're boots, bindings, tuning kits and extra clothes into the trunk? Then you should consider racking up your new roof!

Roof racks are an incredibly handy invention. You can mount numerous things to them: cargo carriers, ski racks, bike racks, kayak racks, that shiny new queen size bed you just bought, siblings/cousins/friends...you name it and there's a way to rack it and strap it. Roof racks can be mounted on just about any car or SUV. If you've got a truck, there's special solutions made for you and your gear.

If your vehicle has roof rails on it already, you can buy specially made "towers" that clamp onto your factory roof rails. Then you just need crossbars and your roof rack is complete. If you have a naked roof (i.e. no roof rails), you'll need "towers" that clamp onto the windowsill and a pair of crossbars to construct your rack. I always cut my crossbars to length for style points and so you & your passengers don't bonk your heads on it when getting out of the car. Just make sure not to cut too much off!

Ski racks are obviously useful in the wintertime. Thule and Yakima are the big players in the ski rack and cargo carrier game. Most ski racks can mount 4 sets of ski's or 4 snowboards, but there are a few racks that can mount more, like the Yakima FatCat 6, the Yakima FreshSesh, or the Yakima Big PowderHound. Each of these racks are extra wide to accommodate up to 6 pairs of ultra wide powder skis or 4 extra wide powder boards. Each has unique features and styles, so look into those Yak Racks if you need the extra capacity.

Top Winter Time Auto Products - Wiper Blades and Ski Racks

The auto market research that I conducted for this article was based on finding the top 2 products that most drivers could make use of. I wanted to select one every-day product that almost every driver could use, and another lifestyle oriented product. One that personalizes a vehicle and also makes the driving experience more comfortable.

Something As Simple As New Wiper Blades?

For my first product, I wanted to find something that would offer a solution to the harsh elements that the winter throws at us. Whether you live on the East, West, South Coast…. Or reside in Fargo North Dakota, every vehicle has a set of wiper blades that endure a heavy workload when it rains or snows. This is a product that many overlook and rarely look to improve.

New wiper blades can enable for much clearer vision of the road. As if the slick roads weren't dangerous enough, vision is impaired during bad road conditions. A new set of wiper blades helps keep your windshield free of dirt, water, and snow streaks when clear vision is most important. New blades are easy to find in local part store and on online for discount prices that are likely better than local part stores. Go with a top name brand, you'll be surprised to see the difference in effectiveness from cheap blades to high quality blades. For such a cheap part that is so influential on your ability to drive during harsh road conditions, I would recommend going with quality here. PIAA, Rain X, Trico & Bosch are trusted brand names.

What's All The Rack-it?

For my second recommended product, I did research to see what the most popular activity was during the winter. Yes, beer drinking came up in my online searches ? but I wanted to find what the top activity was that directly related to vehicle products needed for the activity/lifestyle. It may sound obvious to you, but I was surprised to hear that skiing was the top activity. Maybe it's because I live in Southern California, but I was really surprised. When I think about skiing, I picture that classic 80's movie “Ski School” and all of the funny things that they did to win the competition at the end of the movie. So the perfect auto product to fit this activity would have to be ski racks. Most people don't ski by themselves; they go with family and friends. So anywhere from 6 to 12 skis are needed for the trip and that takes up a lot of cabin space. Not to mention the wet dripping snow they track after the long-days' session.

The solution; throw a rack on the roof and strap those skis down! Many fit both skis and snowboards. Same idea applies here as for wiper blades. Go with a trusted name brand. You don't want to see those expensive skis flying off the roof, and you certainly don't want the skis falling out of the racks and dinging your precious ride. Thule and Yakima make trusted products, and many newer sport oriented vehicles come with their racks straight from the manufacturer.

I once purchased cheap soft-surf racks and regretted it. On the way to the beach, one clamp broke and my board slipped and hit my trunk on the way out, leaving a dent on my trunk and a busted Channel Islands surfboard on the road.

The top 2 auto products that I recommend for the winter time are wiper blades and ski racks from a thule dealer.

How much is my 2001 VW TDI Golf worth?

Bought in Canada (Ontario) original owner
5 speed manual
AC (blows cold)
Class I trailer hitch
Thule ski rack
6 disk CD player
new battery
new windshield
360,000 km
winter tires on separate rims
alloy rims

Any ideas? Thanks!

Depends on the maintenance history. I've got an '01 Golf TDI with 162,000 miles on it (260kish kms) and I feel I'd be pretty lucky to get $6,000 out of it. If your timing belt has been done recently and all of the other maintenance is pretty up to date, I'd guess around $5,000. Wait until fuel prices rise a little more and the value of your car will continue to rise. I'm talking USD here, Canadian prices are pretty similar as far as I know.
