soft racks are good, better than hard racks in some respects, although they can mark your paint if you dont padd them and i dunno how well theyd work with no back windows.
what size board you got? you might be able to fit it in the passenger seat if you take the headrest off and lean it back a little, put it in through the boot.

hey gower im from bishopston m8 i havnt got a board yet getting a 7.6 but gona have two of them my gf is getting one. i went to halfords 2day and they want £120 for a roof rack lol.

its a 04 plate fiesta duno how long it is

they should fit but it might be tight, and your mrs will have to sit in the back. If you can roll the windows in the back down then a soft rack should be fine.

thanks for the reply. have you tryed the ones that use the gutter not the window cos i dont have back windows.

cheers

ive never even seen one until now. My first instinct would be "that looks pretty dodgy", but i guess they do work or they wouldnt sell them. I wouldnt fancy trusting my board to one tho but then i am particularly nervous with my board on the roof, even in using my soft rack which has done over 5000 miles with no problem.
