#17 of 17 Thule racks installed and working well by lgm Aug 16, 2009 (12:45 pm)
After reading these posts and others on different sites, I went to my local rack shop and asked them to put on some Yakima racks. They deal in both Yakima and Thule, and after some discussion, the installer told me he'd sell me a Yakima rack, but he'd recommend a Thule more for this kind of roof profile. He also said he'd install the Thule, but not the Yakima (and emphasized it was just for this kind of car profile). Something to do with being able to tighten down the rack better for this kind of roofline.   I'm brand agnostic here, so I don't really want to start a debate on the merits of the two, and for simplicity's sake went with the Thule, and had them install it (I've since taken it off and installed it myself).   The nice thing about having them do it is that based on the slope of the roofline, he ended up putting longer clips on the back doors than the front. He had those at the shop, and had I bought the whole setup myself I would have had a sloping rack versus a level one. He also used T-bolts to secure my bike racks on, giving the whole thing a much more aerodynamic look. I've since driven two or three hundred miles with bikes on the roof, on freeways and winding roads, and had no problems. The rack is on as tight as when it was first installed. And the base setup was for the 2006 model - just the longer clips were not included.   I've included pictures of the car which shows the longer clips on the back and shorter ones in front, and the aero look with the t-bolts instead of the regular rack attachments. Can't wait to take the car up to the mountains too.   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com
