Roof rack thread!!!!

Here's my aesthetics only Yakima rack....maybe one day I'll use it for something.

I've had all types of rack systems on my cars for the past 10 years.
I was a rack buyer/installer for an independent outdoor retailer for 6 years....so I've pretty much installed every rack/accessory for Thule and Yakima.....
As much as I hate Q-towers and how they fit....they seem to work well.....Just keep them tight.
Mine stay on year round, as I use them for 3 different sports. About twice a year I take them apart and remeasure/remount them....
I wish our Ep's had factory mounts like the Mazda3 but whatever....

here's my setup
Q Clips, Q Towers, Stretch Kit (which I also hate)
Not sure which fairing as it has traveled between 4 cars.
(my advice about fairings is, get one that's a little shorter than they recommend....just in case you change cars.)
Kayak stackers
Copperhead and Boa Fork Mount bike racks.
High Roller Bike rack.
Powderhound Snowboard Rack
Rocketbox Pro 11 Cargo box....

That is all.
