a 9ft surfboard fits.......so a snowboard will also! - t
will a snowboard fit?
I know it's a lil early for the ski season....buuut, just wondering will a snowboard fit with the back seats folded down, but with BOTH front seats still up, and with a decent amount of leg room for both front driver and passenger?
Basically, from the back of the trunk, to the back of the front passenger seat, is it at least 65 inches or so? (my snowboard is 162.) I would do the measurement my self, but I forgot my tape measure when I went down to the dealer

Or is it even possible to just fold down one of the back seats and still fit a snowboard diagonally? (Maybe do a 3 person ski trip?)
Thanks for anyone who checks for me

p.s. I saw the post on the ski racks, but I don't want to shell out another $225.

a snowboard wont fit without folding down the rear seats
but you could jsut fold one down and stack all three up......and still have enough room for 3 passengers! - t

Yea, im a HUGE snowboarder, i teach at a local Resort, i have a roof rack but i dont think that thats gunna work........... and they will fit in the back, if i move my sub box over....... i hope....... and your snowboard isnt 162 INCHES, its 162 CM

The only thing I worry about is that the metal edges might start 'cutting' through the fabric of the interior and backs of the front seat.. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I've had that happen to my 'rip-stop' nylon coats, and a 159 comes real close to the front seats -- It would suck to have slice marks in the back of the seat, know what I'm sayin? I'm trying to figure out an easy way to use the cargo anchors to strap the board in so it won't move.
Let me know if I'm just paranoid!

Anyways, thanks for checking that out for me guys. Cuz that would suck if I had to fold down the front passneger seat, and have my passenger sit behind me
But I'm guessing a 4 person trip is kinda outta the question? (left back seat folded down for snowboards...and people in driver, front, middle back, and right back? Hehe, It would be cramped!!)
Pakman --- Sweet, if your 160 fits behind the driver seat with back seat folded, I'm sure an extra 2 cm won't make a difference
K_splay --- Like Pakman said, bags for boards are pretty cheap. I think I got my burton bag for like $20 or so. But, before I had the bag, I just used old bath room towels, and wrapped up the end of the board.
whosthatrussian --- yeah, that would definately work, but would it get in the way of the driver / passenger...or block your arm from shifting gears?

As everybody else said a snowboard will fit, however I was on another forum and noticed that Yakima makes racks for the tC already. The only probblem with the rack is the sunroof shouldn't be open when you have it on. However if you are snowboarding I don't think that would be an issue.
