looking to purchase a cycle carrier and looks like it will be one of the above.cheapest 9503 is around £140,however halfrauds have a 9403 for £116.just spoken to thule who say the 9503 has superceeded the 9403 and the only thing different is the length.comments from any owners will be much appreciated pls |

looks like the only difference is that the lightboard on the 9403 is a bit cheaper looking than on the 9503( i have thisd one and it is a great rack for the price - paid £120 at the local trailer centre but had to build it up at that)

I went and searched a few MTB forums and picked my Thule up for £50, second hand, showing signs of carrying muddy bikes, but fine for what I need |

Am I right in assuming that the 9403 has a tilt function that allows easy boot access when the bikes are mounted? RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE 2012 Santorini Black

Yes but you don't really need it with a RRS, just open the upper half of the boot hatch and reach in

I wouldn't want to balance myself on the side steps whilst trying to load a bike on the roof so i say bad idea.
