Abstract

A ski carrier clamp mountable on a cross bar of a vehicle roof carrier is provided. The ski carrier clamp includes an elongate base part carrying a first flexible clamp member extending in the longitudinal direction of the elongate base part, and an elongate top part having a second flexible clamp member extending in the longitudinal direction of the elongate top part. The elongate top part is movably coupled to the elongate base part so that the second flexible clamp member is movable with respect to the first flexible clamp member. The first flexible clamp member and the second flexible clamp member are arranged such that at least portions thereof are able to laterally pass each other upon moving the elongate base part and the elongate top part towards each other.
