Hi everyone

I'm waiting for my "new" second hand Aeros Target to arrive. I'm working on a roof rack.

What are the dimensions of the GliderRider available from www.justfly.com ?

How far is there from the far left of one suction cup to the far right of the other suction cup? I drive an old Skode Felicia Hatchback. The hood of the isn't completely plane / flat.

I don't want to buy a GliderRider just to find out that the suction cups won't be able to get a firm grip.

Anyone? Smile

As far as I know, there are glider riders with 1 or with 2 suction cups. Maybe 1 is better for you.

Apparently justfly.com is out of business. Where can I buy this GliderRider thingy now? Thanks!

I don't know, but maybe you can build it yourself, using something like this: http://www.jackstoolshed.zoovy.com/product/BR-SCHO2S/SwivelHead_Double_Suction_Cup_Handle.html?
