Roof Racks

[mcskibadee1]

Is this for an e30? If it is I don't believe those will work.

It's for an '87 325. When I use the "fit my car" section of Yakima.com it says I can use the 1A Raingutter system or the Q Towers with q30 clips. I've used it on other cars, but I when I bought it the rubber mounts were falling apart so I threw them away. Never really needed them until now because when I put them on, it leaves a small space between the roof and the tower, which the rubber mounts would fill perfectly. There are rubber mounts lettered from 'A' to 'F' and I don't know what the difference is between them all.

I like my yakima rack. It just hooks onto the sides so doesnt rub off the paint in the rain gutters like the other racks on here.

But it does rub the paint on the roof, even with the pads.

naw the rubber pads hold up well. And the towers dont move. Its pretty solid

Im looking for a set of Thule 300 towers that fit our cars if anyone has a set they wanna sell...;)

Found some wood on the side of the road for my fire place.

be careful when using the basket in a suspended manner like you are doing. those plastic clips will break with too much weight. really, the basket should be resting on top of the bar and the clips just holding it in place.

This was not the case on my Audi....Those rubber pads on my Yakima rubbed the shit outta my paint.

Thread revival cause it's summer and I am searching CL for a bike rack.

Thule squarebar with "gutter" mounts

[aaron325ix]

FYI, Thule is now offering the 300R foot pack, which means we can run aeroblades on our old cars.

Although, it says that it should be pared with ARB53B which is 53". Seems too wide to me as my old square bars were 50" and seemed too long. I think I will try the 47" aeroblades.

Anyone with experience on this?
